Abstract

This article sets out to trace possible influences of Emanuel Sweden borg, the Swedish theosophist and spirit-seer, in the production of the Finnish national poet Johan Ludvig Runeberg. We argue that the influence of Swedenborgianism on nineteenth-century culture in Finland was greater than has generally been suggested by literary scholars. The first part of the article provides a historical background of Swedenborgianism in the country. The latter part indicates a larger epistemic and religious accord between Swedenborg and Runeberg, to be accounted for in greater detail in terms of influence. Both au thors subscribed to an emblematic worldview within the Classical discourse of nature as a book, ultimately supported by a framework of logocentrism and theism. Runeberg’s discussion of words and things,and his use of the metaphor of light, places him within a mainstream nineteenth-century spirituality, which may be juxtaposed, in addition to general Romantic views, also with Swedenborgian sources.

评约翰·路德维格·鲁内伯格文学创作中的斯威登堡元素
本文试图追溯瑞典神智学者、灵视者伊曼纽尔·瑞典·博格对芬兰民族诗人约翰·路德维格·鲁内伯格作品的可能影响。我们认为,斯威登堡主义对十九世纪芬兰文化的影响比文学学者普遍认为的要大。文章的第一部分提供了瑞典的史威登堡主义的历史背景。后一部分表明,一个更大的认识和宗教协议之间的斯威登堡和鲁内伯格,要在更详细的影响方面加以说明。两位作者都赞同经典自然话语中的象征性世界观,最终得到了逻各斯中心主义和有神论框架的支持。鲁内伯格对文字和事物的讨论,以及他对光的隐喻的使用,将他置于19世纪主流的灵性之中,除了一般的浪漫主义观点之外,还可以与斯威登堡的来源并列。
