The collection opens with a seminal essay by William Butler Yeats, a lyrical and critical masterpiece in which the Nobel Prize-winning poet reveals his breadth of lifelong philosophical and theosophical interests, framing them around the significant influence of Swedenborg. The collection also studies Swedenborg's role in the birth and rise of the Symbolist movement and his influence upon Victorian poetry. The volume closes with an essay by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who views Swedenborg as a founding figure for the Spiritualist circles he himself advocated.

Monographs have been written, but little has been done to introduce his thought directly into philosophical debate. Today, when one encounters the name of Swedenborg, one does so all too often as a footnote to specialist studies of the eighteenth century. Even here, however, he is misquoted, misjudged or simply misunderstood.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e This volume of essays, beginning with a look at Immanuel Kant's reading of Swedenborg, aims to shed new light on common misconceptions. Drawing on comparisons with Arthur Schopenhauer, Christian Wolff, Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz, and others, the essays show Swedenborg to be a much greater influence than previously acknowledged and a key component of subsequent nineteenth- and twentieth-century thought.
