Book Description
Publié pour la première fois en 1859, le livre Qu’est-ce que le Spiritisme est le second d’une série de livres doctrinaux dits complémentaires, édités à partir de 1858, à Paris, et par lesquels Allan Kardec cherchait à vulgariser et à synthétiser les points fondamentaux de la Doctrine Spirite, afin de faciliter la compréhension des personnes qui commençaient à étudier le Spiritisme à cette époque. Il est divisé en trois chapitres. Le premier, sous la forme de dialogues avec un critique, un sceptique et un curé, apporte des réponses à ceux qui méconnaissent les principes de base du Spiritisme, ainsi que des réfutations appropriées à ses contradicteurs. Le second chapitre expose des parties de la science pratique et expérimentale, et se caractérise comme un résumé du Livre des Médiums. Enfin, le troisième est une synthèse admirable du Livre des Esprits, montrant la solution proposée par la Doctrine Spirite aux problèmes d’ordre psychologique, moral et philosophique qui affectent l’Humanité.

What is Spiritism?
Author: Allan Kardec
Publisher: FEB Editora/CEI
ISBN: 6555703342
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 207
Book Description
A work that is still up-to-date, What is Spiritism? is useful for adherents of the Spiritist Doctrine as well as for those who want to understand the nature of Spiritism and its fundamental points. Kardec’s logic and common sense are obvious in this book as he confounds Spiritism’s detractors while answering the questions of those who believe in and aspire to a superior life. The book is divided into three chapters. The first is composed of dialogues between Kardec and a critic, a skeptic and a priest, providing answers to those who do not understand the basic principles of Spiritism. It also presents appropriate refutations to its opponents. The second chapter presents practical and experimental aspects of the science and is a kind of summary of The Mediums’ Book. The third chapter is a short synthesis of The Spirits’ Book, with solutions to psychological, moral and philosophical problems according to the Spiritist Doctrine. In addition, the book is prefaced with an abridged version of Henri Sausse’s biography of Allan Kardec.

Laboratories of Faith
Author: John Warne Monroe
Publisher: Cornell University Press
ISBN: 0801461715
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
At a fascinating moment in French intellectual history, an interest in matters occult was not equivalent to a rejection of scientific thought; participants in séances and magic rituals were seekers after experimental data as well as spiritual truth. A young astronomy student wrote of his quest: "I am not in the presence or under the influence of any evil spirit: I study Spiritism as I study mathematics." He did not see himself as an ecstatic visionary but rather as a sober observer. For him, the darkened room of occult practice was as much laboratory as church. In an evocative history of alternative religious practices in France in the second half of the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries, John Warne Monroe tells the interconnected stories of three movements—Mesmerism, Spiritism, and Occultism. Adherents of these groups, Monroe reveals, attempted to "modernize" faith by providing empirical support for metaphysical concepts. Instead of trusting theological speculation about the nature of the soul, these believers attempted to gather tangible evidence through Mesmeric experiments, séances, and ceremonial magic. While few French people were active Mesmerists, Spiritists, or Occultists, large segments of the educated general public were familiar with these movements and often regarded them as fascinating expressions of the "modern condition," a notable contrast to the Catholicism and secular materialism that prevailed in their culture. Featuring eerie spirit photographs, amusing Daumier lithographs, and a posthumous autograph from Voltaire, as well as extensive documentary evidence, Laboratories of Faith gives readers a sense of what being in a séance or a secret-society ritual might actually have felt like and why these feelings attracted participants. While they never achieved the transformation of human consciousness for which they strove, these thinkers and believers nevertheless pioneered a way of "being religious" that has become an enduring part of the Western cultural vocabulary.

Secular Spirituality
Author: Lynn L. Sharp
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 9780739113394
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 282
Book Description
Secular Spirituality challenges the traditional dichotomy between Enlightenment reason and religion. It follows French romantic socialists' and spiritists' search for a new spirituality based on reincarnation as a path to progress for individuals and society. Leaders like Allan Kardec argued for social reform; spiritist groups strove for equality; and women mediums challenged gender roles. Lynn L. Sharp looks closely at what it meant to practice spiritism, analyszing the movement's social and political critique and explaining the popularity of the new belief. She explores points of convergence and conflict in the interplay between spiritism and science, spiritism and psychology, and spiritism and the Catholic church to argue that the nineteenth century was not as 'disenchanted' as has been thought. Secular Spirituality successfully places spiritism within a larger cultural conversation, going beyond the leaders of the movement to look at the way spiritism functioned for its followers.
