Please join us at Swedenborg House for 'Retracing Swedenborg: Texts, Contexts and Changing Perspectives' the first in a new bi-annual series of international academic conferences exploring the work and legacy of the polymath Emanuel Swedenborg (1688–1772). Taking place between 6 to 8 November 2025, this inaugural gathering will examine Swedenborg’s influence across multiple disciplines including literature, the visual arts, the history of ideas, the history of science and religion, philosophy and theology—charting the wide and unexpected reach of his thought from the eighteenth century to the present day.
