Study Group The Legacy of Allan Kardec

Relato de uma investigação cética que encontrou fundamentos inesperados Resumo Este artigo documenta a trajetória de um diálogo entre um cético familiarizado com o método científico e um estudioso do Espiritismo kardeciano. Ao longo de sucessivas trocas, foram examinadas questões epistemológicas fundamentais: a possibilidade de estudar cientificamente fenômenos inobserváveis, a validade de evidências anedóticas e…

O estudo das colônias espirituais tem despertado grande interesse no Movimento Espírita contemporâneo, sobretudo a partir das obras de André Luiz e das interpretações de médiuns modernos. Paulo Neto, em seus textos, defende a existência de cidades e colônias espirituais estruturadas, interpretando relatos mediúnicos e textos da Codificação como evidência de construções permanentes e habitadas…

Kardec e o paradigma racial do século XIX: entre a hegemonia científica e o contraponto estrutural Na metade do século XIX, o pensamento científico europeu e norte-americano operava sob um paradigma amplamente difundido: a ideia de que a humanidade estava dividida em “raças” hierarquizadas, com diferenças naturais e permanentes de capacidade intelectual. Esse modelo não…

Anyone opening the frontispiece of one of the fundamental works of Spiritism will read the following title: “The Book of Mediums or Guide for Mediums and Evocators.” Note that the word “Evocators” is not there by chance; it defines the very nature of the mediumistic exchange established by Allan Kardec. However, when we analyze modern teaching manuals…

It's exhausting. Everywhere, countless people start talking about "spiritism" without bothering to first learn about it, showing more willingness to opine than to study. But that's not the worst part, since "the force of circumstances" has created this state of almost complete ignorance. No: the worst part…

In our last mediumistic study meeting, after several evocations, we decided, seriously and confidently, and feeling that it was an opportune moment, to seek some guidance, albeit indirectly, from the Spirit of Allan Kardec, the codifier of Spiritism. The medium, in psychophony, after a few moments of concentration, begins to speak, in a quite different way, […]

The distance between Apometry and Spiritism does not appear on the margins, but at the very core of each proposal. When we closely examine the apometric system attributed to José Lacerda de Azevedo and compare it with the doctrinal principles consolidated in the works of Allan Kardec — The Spirits' Book, The Mediums' Book, Genesis,…

This question was formulated in response to a message attributed to Allan Kardec in the introduction to the book "Spiritism is the Work of Jesus," by Paulo Henrique de Figueiredo and other authors: "Follow the path I have walked.
