Description
A Philosopher's Notebook
Emanuel Swedenborg / Translated by Alfred Acton
This is a collection of excerpts from various scientists, philosophers, and theologians, together with Swedenborg's comments and his own ideas. It is one of several such volumes among Swedenborg's unpublished manuscripts. This particular volume was starte as he prepared to extend the series begun in the first two volumes of the
Oeconimia regni anmimalis (Dynamics of the Soul's Domain.)
In
The Philosopher's Notebook
we find quotations from more than 200 authors, both classical and modern, along with several hundred Bible quotations, all arranged topically, under such heads as : the soul, the organic mind, the animal spirits, logic, optics, the elements, motion, free will, predestination, god, immortality, etc. From these selections... we can see the direction in which his thought is evolving--from the natural sciences, to a philosphical perspective on theological questions, and even some first explorations of theology itself. And perhaps this culminates in the realization that the doctrine of correspondence can be developed from passages in the Sacred Scriptures. Index.
