Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), a Christian thinker marginalized by conventional Catholic culture, outlines a theological discourse in which the biological evolution and expansion of the creative power of technoscience constitute the new backgrounds of understanding of Christianity. He in fact displaces the representation of the relationship between God, world and man, from the horizon defined by the vision of God as the original foundation of an immutable order of the world and of human life of which the "classical metaphysics", and the religious mentality to it connected, are the bearers. To this reconfiguration of the religious imaginary, the Jesuit connects the advent of a vision of Christianity as a practice of activating and supporting the creative action of a humanity that, through the expansion of the cognitive and operational power of technoscience, is credited as formation capable of giving progress to the "relaunch" of evolution.
