- The noosphere (sometimes noösphere) is a concept used by Vladimir Vernadsky [1] and Teilhard de Chardin to denote the “sphere of human thought". [2] The word derives from the Greek νοῦς (nous “mind") and σφαῖρα (sphaira “sphere"), in lexical analogy to “atmosphere” and “biosphere”. [3] It was introduced by Pierre Teilhard de Chardin in 1922 [4] in his Cosmogenesis. [5] Another possibility is the first use of the term by Édouard Le Roy (1870-1954), who together with Teilhard was listening to lectures of Vladimir Vernadsky at the Sorbonne. In 1936 Vernadsky accepted the idea of the noosphere in a letter to Boris Leonidovich Lichkov (though he states that the concept derives from Le Roy). [6]

- ↑ In 1922, Teilhard wrote in an essay with the title 'Hominization': "And this amounts to imagining, in one way or another, above the animal biosphere a human sphere, a sphere of reflection, of conscious invention, of conscious souls (the noosphere, if you will)" (1966, p. 63) It was a neologism employing the Greek word noos for "mind."
