Science Beyond Empiricism: Models, Criteria, and the Case of Spiritism

Spiritism, codified by Allan Kardec in the 19th century, challenges the traditional view of science by proposing a rigorous investigation of spiritual phenomena. In this article, we explore how Kardec's methods align with contemporary models of science, such as empiricism and the hypothetico-deductive method.
