Life

Claude Tresmontant taught medieval philosophy and philosophy of science at the Sorbonne. He was a member of the Académie des sciences morales et politiques, which in 1987 awarded him the Grand Prize for his oeuvre. In 1973, the Tresmontant Maximilien Kolbe price.

Tresmontant examined as exegete the history of Christianity since his Hebrew origins. He recognized the influences of moral disciplines, anthropology and metaphysics that originated in historical times from China, India and Greece, as in a phylum. As a supporter of modern Catholic theology Tresmontant took the view that the data current scientific knowledge - particularly in cosmology and biology - refer to an existence of God.

He was executor of the theological works of Pierre Teilhard de Chardin.
