Jahrhunderts.\u003c\/i\u003e In this volume, Stengel provides a survey of Swedenborg's philosophical influences, as well as an assessment of Swedenborg's own influence on the German theology of his time, thereby giving the reader new insight into the nature of the Enlightenment. Exploring Swedenborg's many inspirations, from Plato to Aristotle, Augustine to Descartes, and Malebranche to Leibniz, just to name a few, Stengel shows the breadth of their impact on Swedenborg and the resultant sophistication of the Swedish prophet's ideas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e By broadening the conversation surrounding Swedenborg's source and reception histories, Stengel hopes to counter the reductive lenses through which certain of Swedenborg's experiences have been filtered. In the author's own words, \"this will serve to highlight the perspectives contained within the historical discourse, tracing their seminal influence on later religious and philosophical discussions that, in turn, gave rise, from the eighteenth century onward, to the psychohistorical interpretations of associated supernatural phenomena such as Swedenborg's visionary propensity.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eEnlightenment All the Way to Heaven \u003c\/i\u003eis the twenty-fourth installment in the Swedenborg Studies scholarly series.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Friedemann Stengel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 087785355X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780877853558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Swedenborg Foundation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.40w x 2.50d","brand":"Friedemann Stengel","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128578175231,"sku":"9780877853558","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eacce263-a9ab-4264-b2b8-cf881cca7eef.jpg?v=1687459385","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/enlightenment-all-the-way-to-friedemann-stengel-9780877853558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
