Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Emanuel Swedenborg: His Life and Writings Swedenborg´s name has grown familiar in English literature, but with few definite ideas attached to it. The causes are not far to seek. His works are so voluminous as to daunt many readers, nor are there any one or two of his volumes calculated to afford a complete view of his philosophy and theology. The little sect, moreover, which assumes his authority to be divine has never commanded the public ear. To the majority, Swedenborg is no more than an eminent Ghost Seer. Professor Masson, in a recent popular work, states this broadly, saying, "From the most moderate Animal Magnetism to the most involved dreams of the Swedenborgians and Spirit Rappers, is simply the idea, that our familiar world or cosmos may not be the total sphere of the phenomenal" - that is to say, the drift of Swedenborg´s teaching is to prove the existence of a Spiritual World - a phenomenal world beyond that which now affects our senses. Mr. Masson means well, but he completely misapprehends Swedenborg´s real business. As a Ghost Seer, Swedenborg is not without interest, but it is an interest which is quickly exhausted: to regard him simply as a Ghost Seer is to make a prodigious mistake.
