Book Overview

""Mesmer and Swedenborg: Or The Relation of the Developments of Mesmerism to the Doctrines and Disclosures of Swedenborg"" is a book written in 1847 by George Bush. The book explores the connection between the ideas of Franz Mesmer, the founder of mesmerism, and Emanuel Swedenborg, a Swedish philosopher and mystic. Bush argues that there are similarities between the two men's ideas, and that understanding these similarities can shed light on the nature of mesmerism and its relationship to spiritualism. The book is divided into two parts. The first part provides a brief biography of both Mesmer and Swedenborg, as well as an overview of their ideas. The second part explores the relationship between their ideas in more detail, drawing on a range of sources, including Mesmer's own writings and Swedenborg's theological works. Overall, the book offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of mesmerism and spiritualism, and the ways in which these ideas have influenced our understanding of the mind and consciousness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
