Excerpt from Outlines of a Philosophical Argument on the Infinite: And the Final Cause of Creation; And on the Intercourse Between the Soul and the Body The following Work was originally published by Swedenborg in Latin in 1734, at Dresden and Leipsic, together, as it appears, with the Opera Philosophica et Mineralia of which the Principle, forms the first volume. It seems to have been written after the Principia, at least if we may judge from the circumstance of the latter being referred to several times in these Outlines. Besides which, the Doctrine of the Soul is carried out in the latter into many more details than in the Principia. In the Acta Eruditorum for 1735, pp. 556 559, the present Work is reviewed, but no positive opinion is expressed of its merits, although the critic hints that it has a materialistic tendency.
