Spiritism
From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.
Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine organised by the French professor Allan Kardec. Its main characteristics are:
- Promoting the dialog between the three classical forms of knowledge (science, philosophy and religion) for achieving a more complete comprehension of the reality;
- Submitting the fundamental points of the religious systems to a critical and empirical exam, for separating fantasy and reality. This way, men can avoid materialism and dogmatism at once, being critical and spiritual.
- Emphasizing human power and responsability for acting, creating and changing the world around.
