Emmanuel Swedenborg's philosophy of the human organism

Swedenborg’s view of human life and the life of the universe as a miraculous physiological process gives Man a special position. Man is the end or goal of finite creation. For thousands of years, as a religious myth, Man has conceived in his mind the notion of a divine society in heaven. This society is a reflection of his own organism. Man’s goal now is to give birth to this social order to which he has for so long aspired; to translate divine values into social ones and to make social life the incarnation of human wisdom.
