A talk by the Society’s President on Swedenborg’s philosophy of love, originally given at the Swedenborg Birthday Meeting 2012.
The most important part of Swedenborg’s philosophy has never been termed a doctrine: the ‘Doctrine of Love’, which, according to Swedenborg, is the foundation proper of faith and knowledge. Like the ‘Commandment of Love’ this principle supersedes and overrides all other rules. In effect, it is more important what you do than what you believe, and goodness is more important than faith because the truths of faith are closed to the uncharitable. Caritas or ‘charity’ is the royal road to wisdom and also has an intrinsic value, since facere bonum or ‘doing good’ and making other people happy is forever the highest joy of our lives and is its own reward.
