Summary of text [comment] pages 43 and 44

[What was de Chardin trying to convey?

He wrote four generations ago.  2013 is 80 years past 1933.

He was not acquainted with Hayek’s notion of “spontaneous order”.

The “ecology” and the “environment” are spontaneous orders.

The ecology and environment are beautiful to behold.  Each appears to be a “unity” that puts “multiplicities” into context.

Is this what de Chardin envisioned?]

Schoonenberg quoted de Chardin at length.

I consider this quote in the next few blogs.]
