Omega point (de Chardin)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Omega point is a term used by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin to describe the aim towards which consciousness evolves; he held that evolution was a process converging toward a final unity. According to Chardin and the Russian scholar and biologist Vladimir Vernadsky (The Geosphere [1924] and The Biosphere [1926]), the planet is in a transformative process, metamorphosing from the biosphere into the noosphere.
