In regard to Swedenborg’s works which are frequently cited in articles published in The New Philosophy, we make two observations. Firstly, contributors commonly make a distinction between those works which are essentially theological (referred to as “the Writings” or “the Heavenly Doctrine”) and those which are essentially scientific or philosophical (referred to as “the pre-theological works”). And secondly, all references to Swedenborg’s works are given by section number, not by page unless so stated. When reference is made to a particular section in a work, the title of the work is abbreviated—as given in the list below—and this is immediately followed by the number; thus (AC 590) refers to section 590 in Arcana Coelestia.
