Outer Streams, Emmanuel Swedenborg Part 2 of 8

Part 2 of 8: This week on Science and the Outer Streams, Andy Nesky, President of the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Theosophical Society, welcomes the Rev. Dr. Jonathan S. Rose. Dr. Rose discusses the life, legacy and works of Swedish philosopher, scientist, and theologian Emmanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg has been called one of the greatest thinkers Sweden has ever produced, and his theology sparked a Christian religious movement known as The New Jerusalem Church. Dr. Rose is the series editor and the translator for the "New Century Edition," a series of annotated English translations of Swedenborg's theological writings. He has been the Curator of the Swedenborgia Library and is now a chaplain and assistant professor of Religion and Sacred Languages at Bryn Athyn College of the New Church.

@willingtorisk Choose your fights wisely.  That's all.

Thanks for posting this, which is a good introduction to Swedenborg, a great mind whose writings are incredibly relevant today and should be better known. Unfortunately Swedenborg is very underrated in the world of academics despite his influence on great poets, writers, philosophers and artists like Balzac, Baudelaire, Yeats, Goethe, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Borges, Schelling, Kant, Suzuki, Emerson, Blake, Milosz, Henry James Snr, etc..

(P.S: Emanuel is spelt with only one M)

Nietzsche wrote that a great artist will one day write about God's boredom on the 7th day.
