ABSTRACT In 1758 in London, Swedish natural philosopher and mystic theologian Emanuel Swedenborg published De Telluribus in Mundo nostro Solari (Earths in our solar system), a treatise on the plurality of worlds and life on other planets. During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, these topics formed a heterogenous literary genre which encompassed theology, astronomy, philosophy and satire. In De Telluribus, Swedenborg made detailed claims of communication with extraterrestrial spirits in the afterlife, through which he sought to spread his theology to new audiences. The paper will explore the role of De Telluribus in Swedenborg's career, explain its content and analyse its polarized reception. It will show that De Telluribus combined for the first time the literary codes of two popular genres during the period, namely those concerning the plurality of worlds and the dialogues of the dead. By doing so, the paper revises current scholarly understanding of Swedenborg by showcasing him as a versatile yet ill-fated recombiner of literary genres. More broadly, the paper will shed light upon previously unnoticed eighteenth-century literary interactions along with a wider overview on the reception of themes such as the plurality of worlds, mysticism and satire in Scandinavia and Germany.

“来自其他星球的幽灵”：伊曼纽尔·斯威登堡的《太阳世界》（1758 年）中的多元世界、来世和讽刺

摘要 1758 年在伦敦，瑞典自然哲学家和神秘神学家伊曼纽尔·斯威登堡在 Mundo nostro Solari（太阳系中的地球）中发表了 De Telluribus，这是一篇关于其他星球上的多元世界和生命的论文。在十七和十八世纪，这些主题形成了一种异质的文学体裁，包括神学、天文学、哲学和讽刺。在 De Telluribus 中，斯威登堡详细声称在来世与外星灵魂交流，他试图通过这种方式将他的神学传播给新的观众。该论文将探讨德特鲁里布斯在斯威登堡职业生涯中的作用，解释其内容并分析其两极分化的接受程度。它将表明德特鲁里布斯第一次结合了这一时期两种流行体裁的文学代码，即那些关于世界的多元化和死者的对话。通过这样做，这篇论文通过展示他是一位多才多艺但命运多舛的文学体裁重组者，修正了目前学术界对斯威登堡的理解。更广泛地说，这篇论文将阐明以前未被注意到的 18 世纪文学互动，同时更广泛地概述了斯堪的纳维亚和德国的多元世界、神秘主义和讽刺等主题的接受程度。
