The first title involves a systematic comparison of the whole of Wolff's philosophy with the philosophy of Swedenborg, whereas the work itself consists merely of notes made on various points in Wolff's Psychologia Empirica interspersed with sundry observations. The second title, while indeed descriptive, seems to involve that the work was written as a set treatise, whereas on the face of it, it is nothing more than notes written during the course of reading. We have preferred therefore the title 'Psychologica' or Psychological Notes. As to the nature of the work itself which is now presented to the public, this we shall leave to the judgment of the reader. Suffice it to say that it marks one more step on the path that will lead the student to a clearer understanding of that doctrine of the soul which was present in Swedenborg's mind even when he wrote the Principia; which so deeply influenced the whole of his subsequent writings; which it was the goal of his ambition to set forth in clearer light, that men might be led to venerate, worship and adore the wisdom of God; and which, finally, firmly established in his own mind, was to become the means whereby he might rationally receive and fitly present to the world, the heavenly doctrine of the New Jerusalem.

Psychology is central to the work of Christian Wolff (1679-1754). Together with natural law, ethics, politics, and economics, it forms the basis of logic and of practical philosophy. The present volume inquires into the complex problems involved in Wolff's concept of a rational and empirical form of psychology on the one hand, and its fundamental function within Wolff's system of philosophy on the other. In addition, it situates the psychology of Wolff in the history of science between Scholasticism and Kant's critical philosophy.
