The New Philosophy Online
The advantage of periodicals over books is their ability to convey current information in a more timely fashion. Their main disadvantage is the tendency to hide relevant material “somewhere” in piles of unreferenced back issues. This, unfortunately, also applies to The New Philosophy. Within the covers of this journal, which dates back to 1898, can be found a wealth of knowledge about Emanuel Swedenborg, his scientific works and his philosophy. The problem, however, is locating relevant articles for casual reading or research. Besides, no respectable author would want to discover after his or her article has been printed that another person had already written a similar article “just a few years ago.”
