The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love To Which is Added The Pleasures of Insanity Pertaining To Scortatory Love

"The Delights of Wisdom Pertaining to Conjugial Love" by Emanuel Swedenborg is a philosophical and religious journey into the meaning of love, mainly concentrating on the spiritual connections in heaven and how they contrast with love on Earth. The book also touches upon “The Pleasures of Insanity Pertaining to Scortatory Love," showing a divide between marital love and other kinds of love. The book begins with a vision of angels gathering to talk about joy and happiness in heaven. Swedenborg shares conversations between wise spirits who have different ideas about what makes true happiness in the afterlife. Some think it's about feasts and friends, while others believe it's about spiritual connection through service and purpose. An angel guides these spirits, explaining that real joy comes from love, wisdom, and helping others, not just physical pleasures, setting the scene for a deep look at love's different forms and its role in spiritual life.
