Lars Bergquist (1) (1930–)

In Swedenborg’s Secret, Lars Bergquist attempts to set the record straight by showing that Swedenborg’s theosophical works, far from being the rantings of a mad seer, are better understood in relation to his earlier, more ‘rational’ investigations, and that he was addressing real concerns shared by other thinkers of the time.

This biography introduces us to a quintessential man of the Enlightenment who delves into every scientific branch in search of ultimate truth. These examinations lead him down the same epistemological impasse as many other thinkers of his time: logical reasoning was not giving all the answers.
