Noosphere

The concept of the noosphere [ noosfɛ ː rə ] ( altgr. νοῦς nous, "mind", " mind ", ie along the "Sphere of the human spirit / mind" ) originates from the context of philosophy and natural science; it comes from the Russian geologists, geochemists, mineralogists and founder of geochemistry, geology and biogeochemistry radio Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky and was coined by Édouard Le Roy.

According to another source, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, the term noosphere 1925 passe as the first in a time not yet published paper La vision du used. Vernadsky first time in 1931:

"In the years 1922 and 1923 I took in my lectures at the Sorbonne in Paris as the basis of the biosphere biogeochemical phenomena at ... From my biogeochemical basis of the biosphere starting, led the French mathematician and philosopher who Bergsonianer E. Le Roy in his lectures at the College de France in Paris in 1927 the term noosphere ' than the modern stage, which lived through the biosphere geologically, a. He emphasizes this idea he had come along with his friend, the eminent geologist and paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin "

The term noosphere learned a Christian appropriation and reinterpretation begins with the writings of the theologian Teilhard de Chardin 1922 in his Cosmogenesis. Noosphere referred to in the Christian theology of de Chardin, the learned as a result of an international Christian exploitation and dissemination, a phase of mental development in growing together in the human race to a spirit or with Jesus Christ, ie for global unity religion Christianity. Teilhard de Chardin refers to this as the goal of Christian history with a Trinitarian concept of God. Le Roy and de Chardin both listened to the lectures of Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky 1922.

The Russian geologist Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky used his term until after 1937, most extensively in the work of the scientific thought as a planetary phenomenon ( Научная мысль как планетное явление ). This article should be part of his great life's work The chemical structure of the biosphere of the Earth and its environment ( Химическое строение биосферы Земли и ее окружения ) are. Due to the suppression or separation of the philosophies and sciences during the Cold War, his work appeared in 1977 in Russian, where he again the evolutionary transformation of the biosphere into a sphere of human reason - the noosphere - describes ( cosmology ).

More recently, the concept of noosphere of media theorists and thought leaders of the open source movement has been revitalized and topped with an altered enttheologisierten meaning that content more consistent with Vernadsky than de Chardin.

Further development and use of the term in the rank of the development:

• Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (Russian geologist, geochemist and mineralogist, one of the founders of geochemistry, biogeochemistry and geology of the radio ) ( 1863-1945 )
• Édouard Le Roy (1870-1954) ( French philosopher and mathematician ), Les origines humaines et l' evolution de l' intelligence (Paris, 1928)
• Pierre Teilhard de Chardin ( Catholic theologian, geologist and paleontologist ), ( 1881-1955 )
• More recently, media theorist and pioneer of open source movement develop the concept further content similar to the origins at Vernadsky and particularly again corresponds Christianized and corresponding theologized. Marshall McLuhan called the noosphere as " cosmic membrane, which has been defined by the electric expansion of our various senses around the globe ", ie as " a technical brain for the world."
• Eric S. Raymond uses the concept of the noosphere in his essay Homesteading the Noosphere, in which he discussed problems of project management in open source. Noosphere Raymond describes as " the space of all possible thoughts "; he distinguishes additionally with Faré Rideau between noosphere ( noosphere ) and ergosphere ( ERGOSPHERE ) (see ).
