Spiritism

Spiritism is a philosophical doctrine organized 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 responsibility for acting, creating and changing the world around.
