title: [The Swedenborg mystery: sanity or insanity?].
abstract: In this article, the author proceeds to a clinical analysis of the Swedenborg phenomenon by examining the extraordinary life of this thinker who had a great influence on the intellectual world and the then rising psychology. The author examines more closely the progression and the colossal contribution of Emmanuel Swedenborg to several scientific fields. Finally, the author raises the issue of a possible psychiatric illness suffered by this individual considered during his time as the Leonardo de Vinci of the North, the Aristotle of Sweden.
