The Raphael-Teilhard collection, 1938-1950.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122941594

The Raphael-Teilhard de Chardin collection consists of thirty-seven letters, a manuscript drawing, two typed manuscripts, and a number of offprints on evolution and anthropology, all from the collection of Mrs. Françoise Raphael, an old friend of Teilhard from his early days in China. These letters are important as a source for tracing Teilhard's movements during the 1940's and for the many expressions of his philosophy found in them. In a number of letters Teilhard describes his thoughts on a new, broader "Science of man" to replace anthropology, and expresses his disappointment with the Church's reaction to his philosophy.
