I had been waiting for this work for a long time, without knowing exactly what to expect. Upon hearing the news that the authors had returned to Spirits like André Luiz and Emmanuel, many were internally distraught and prematurely judged the work, which was still not... read more
The work known as the "Manuscript of Purgatory" occupies a special place within Catholic literature of a mystical nature. Its narrative describes an ongoing exchange between the nun Sister M. d. IC and the spirit of the deceased Sister MG., read more
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.
Introduction: Heron Volpi's article (“THE EVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT: Allan Kardec's “Evolutionism”) assumes from the outset that Spiritism is ”a religion“ subject to the same criticisms as other traditional beliefs. This premise ignores the original Kardecist definition. 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. Kardec submitted such ideas to analysis—he never consolidated them. read more
After Allan Kardec's death, the Spiritist movement underwent a decisive methodological shift. The critical examination of communications, controlled evocation, and systematic comparison—foundations established in the Codification—were gradually replaced by an attitude of acceptance. read more
Spiritism was not born to be just another religion constrained by dogma or a closed sect. When Allan Kardec codified the doctrine in the 19th century, he established it as a philosophical science with moral consequences. Its foundation was Spiritualism. read more
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
