Publisher's Synopsis
The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love is a book written by Emanuel Swedenborg. It is a philosophical and theological work that explores the nature of love and marriage. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which discusses the nature of love and the second of which focuses on the nature of marriage. Swedenborg argues that true love is a spiritual force that transcends physical attraction and that it is the foundation of all human relationships. He also discusses the concept of conjugial love, which he defines as the love between two people who are united in a spiritual and emotional bond. The second part of the book delves into the practical aspects of marriage, including the roles of husband and wife, the importance of fidelity, and the challenges that couples may face in their relationships. Swedenborg emphasizes the importance of mutual respect and understanding in a successful marriage, as well as the need for both partners to work together to overcome any obstacles that arise. Overall, The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of love and marriage, written by one of the most influential philosophers and theologians of the 18th century.After observing these things, the angel led his companions through various winding paths, till he brought them at length to a most beautiful grove of roses, surrounded by olive, orange, and citron trees. Here they found many persons sitting in a disconsolate posture, with their heads reclined on their hands, and exhibiting all the signs of sorrow and discontent. The companions of the angel accosted them, and inquired into the cause of their grief.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
