[Noosphere]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
The [noosphere] can be seen as the sphere of human thought being derived from the Greek nous meaning mind in the style of atmosphere and biosphere. Just as the biosphere is composed of all the organisms on Earth and their interactions, the noosphere is composed of all the interacting minds and memes on Earth. The word is also sometimes used to refer to a [transhuman] consciousness arising from all these interactions - which those who have read [Teilhard] de [Chardin] sometimes refer to as the Omega Point, and consider the goal of history.
History of this expression:
E. LeRoys Les origines humaines et levolution de lintelligence (1928)
Vladimir I. Vernadsky (1863-1945)
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955) -
A postulated sphere or stage of evolutionary development dominated by consciousness, the mind, and interpersonal relationships (frequently with reference to the writings of Teilhard de Chardin)
