What is Spiritism

What is Spiritism

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