According to P. Teilhard de Chardin life is a stage of evolution on the line: before-life, life, thought and super-life. At the same time it constitutes a „moment” co-extensive towards all the other beings as a „universal element" of evolution. It comes to existence on the foundation of matter: out of material systems and a coincidental event, yet under the immanent and transcendent operation of the Creative Act of Omega, who calls to existence the whole of evolution, and at the same time its inherent life. And this is not hylozoism.
