Opis

Jose Antonio Anton-Pacheco exercises his expertise in philosophy in this meditation on the ideas of Emanuel Swedenborg.

In this book he tackles subjects as diverse as the nature of unity and the way that the Divine manifests in the world; the nature of human beings as they relate to the higher realms, and specifically Swedenborg s concept of the Grand Man or Universal Human; the mystical nature of Swedenborg s interpretation of the Bible; and the nature of time and space in the spiritual world. Alongside his exploration of Swedenborg s thought are examinations of Swedenborg s influence on a variety of different thinkers and authors, from Jorge Luis Borges to Ibn Arabi.

This book was originally published in Spanish as "El profeta del norte: Un libro sobre Swedenborg." Perfect for scholars and serious students of Swedenborg s thought, Anton Pacheco s powerful writing casts a new light on the Swedish prophet."
