Swedenborg, Emanuel
Born: January 29, 1688 in Stockholm
[died] March 29, 1772, London Swedish scientist, philosopher, and theologian. He first studied natural science, but at the age of 55, he received a divine revelation and realized the limitations of the scientific method, and became active as a divine being and mystical theologian. Philosophically, he regarded the infinite as the indivisible power and life in all creation, and made this infinite being God. He also asserted the absolute unity of God in nature and person, and rejected the traditional doctrine of the unity of the three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, by interpreting the Trinity as the unity of love, wisdom, and activity in one Godhead. After his death, the New Jerusalem Church, which follows his doctrine, was founded in London in 1787, and the Swedenborg Society was founded in 1810. His most famous work is De coelo et ejus mirabilibus, et de inferno (1758), Heaven and Hell.

スウェーデンの科学者,哲学者,神学者。初め自然科学を研究したが,55歳のとき,神の啓示を受けて科学的方法の限界を悟り,神霊者,神秘的神学者として活躍した。哲学的には,無限者を全被造物のうちなる不可分の力と生命とみなし,この無限者を神とした。また本性と位格における神の絶対的統一を主張し,三位一体を,唯一の神格における愛と知恵と活動性の統一と解することで,父と子と聖霊という3つの位格の統一としての伝統的教理を否定した。死後,1787年にロンドンで彼の教理に従う「新エルサレム教会」が設立され,また 1810年には「スウェーデンボリ協会」が設立された。最も有名な著作に『天界と地獄』 De coelo et ejus mirabilibus,et de inferno (1758) がある。
