Second Revised Edition

It represents the most luminous vertex of J. O. Lavoisier’s philosophy. It is the reflection through which his thinking surmounts the elements of universal history. The purpose of these pages lies in tracing the evolution experienced by man, not his biological evolution but the evolution of his spirit.

Darwin, Hegel, Bergon and Teilhard de Chardin are seriously inquired in order to expose the truth and the relativism contained by their theories when they postulate a philosophy of the history of the spirit. This treaty emphasizes that Darwin’s survival theory, with its wisdom and its findings, encloses man within a perspective from which the matters of the Spirit (ideals, the moral doctrine and high feelings) are dropped behind, with the serious consequences derived in the social and ecological order.

The second part of the treaty describes two Eastern doctrines through which the Spirit has managed a more natural development: Hinduism in the vision of Sri Aurobindo, and Buddhism. This work –maybe one of a kind- highlights the wide knowledge of the author about compared religions, when it comes to tracing the evolution of Buddhism in India from its beginnings, following the various springs of the Mahayana until it ends in the Cha´n (zen) in China. His thinking profile is clearly evident when contrasting the abovementioned philosophies with his own.

THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT

From Greece to the West, from India to the East. Har-Anand Publishers, 2017

By putting survival in a preeminent position, Darwin relegates high aspirations and elevated sentiments to the periphery, barely part of the landscape while the utilitarian aspects of life are foregrounded. This vision has had wide repercussions in an age where there is an unfortunate tendency to incline towards materialist and utilitarian philosophies. These have diffused a primordial and decisive feature in man: his spiritual evolution.
