About This Book

The essay surveys Emanuel Swedenborg’s wide-ranging natural-science investigations and evaluates the evidence supporting his claims about brain function. It reviews his contributions across mathematics, mechanics, astronomy, geology, mineralogy, chemistry, physics, cosmology, anatomy and physiology, then focuses on his anatomical and physiological work proposing localized centres for vegetative, sensory and motor functions and a cerebellular theory. The author compares Swedenborg’s observations with later scholarship, traces reception among scientific societies, and concludes with a concise appraisal and annotated notes.
