Synopsis

Explore a distinctive view of creation and the cosmos. This edition distills Swedenborg's ideas about how infinity becomes finite, and how the universe takes shape.

This non-fiction study surveys how the Infinite can become the finite, and what that means for origins, time, and the natural world. It traces a path from abstract concepts to the physical layers that purportedly structure planets, atmospheres, and minerals. The text highlights how the author frames matter as made from primordial substances, and how different "auras" or atmospheres are said to surround celestial bodies and earthly masses. What you’ll experience

  • An accessible overview of key terms like Infinity, finites, and atmosphere in Swedenborg’s cosmology.
  • Descriptions of the three atmospheric levels and their roles in shaping planets and life.
  • Connections drawn between geology, mineral formation, and celestial processes as presented in this edition.
  • A concise framing of the author’s approach to theology and natural philosophy in the context of the Cosmic vision.
Ideal for readers curious about historical cosmologies, speculative science, and how 18th‑century ideas attempted to explain the structure of the universe.
