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. Through a comparative analysis, we discuss the compatibilities and limitations of Spiritism in relation to modern science, revealing that the true divergence lies in ontological premises. Discover how Spiritism can be seen as an innovative research program and its implications for understanding spiritual reality.
Introdução O artigo de Heron Volpi (“A EVOLUÇÃO DO ESPÍRITO: O “Evolucionismo” de Allan Kardec”) assume desde o início que o Espiritismo é “uma religião” sujeita às mesmas críticas que outras crenças tradicionais. Essa premissa ignora a definição kardecista original read more
Thesis: Images of a materialized spiritual plane—walled colonies, a geographical threshold, armed spirits, an economy of "bonus-hours," soup kitchens, small houses, and hospitals—are myths incompatible with the central principles of Spiritist Doctrine.

Spiritism was born under the sign of reason, methodical observation, rigorous comparison, and humility before the truth. Kardec made it clear, in every line, that the greatest enemy of the Doctrine would be human vanity, the intrusion of passions. read more
When Allan Kardec published The Spirits' Book in 1857, he founded a new doctrine and laid the foundations for a science that studies spiritual phenomena. Kardec envisioned a future of collaboration, warning about the dangers of centralization and advocating for a decentralized structure. Discover how his ideas still resonate and how we can revive this legacy to keep Spiritism true to its scientific and moral spirit.
Analyzing received mediumistic communications is as important as receiving and applying them. Comparative study of them and the Spiritist Doctrine allows us to determine whether they are valid or not. Furthermore, it helps us better understand the world we live in. read more
Allan Kardec, the codifier of Spiritism, dedicated himself to observing, examining, and systematizing mediumistic phenomena with scientific rigor. In his works—such as The Mediums' Book, Practical Instructions on Spiritist Manifestations, and the numerous reports in the Spiritist Review— read more
