Ontology (1880)

Ontology is a philosophical treatise written by Emanuel Swedenborg in 1880. The book delves into the study of being and existence, exploring the nature of reality and the fundamental principles that govern it. Swedenborg's approach to ontology is heavily influenced by his spiritual beliefs and his understanding of the divine order of the universe. He argues that the essence of all things is derived from God, and that the universe is a manifestation of divine love and wisdom. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of ontology, including the nature of substance, causation, and the relationship between mind and matter. Throughout the book, Swedenborg draws on a wide range of philosophical and theological sources, including Aristotle, Descartes, and Leibniz, to develop his own unique perspective on the nature of reality. Overall, Ontology is a thought-provoking and challenging work that offers a fascinating glimpse into Swedenborg's philosophical and spiritual worldview.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
