    SOPHIA (2011) 50:189–209 DOI 10.1007/s11841-010-0199-z Grading Religions Noriaki Iwasa Published online: 23 October 2010 # Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract This essay develops standards for grading religions including various forms of spiritualism. First, I examine the standards proposed by William James, John Hick, Paul Knitter, Dan Cohn-Sherbok, and Harold Netland. Most of them are useful in grading religions with or without conditions. However, those standards are not enough for refined and piercing evaluation. Thus, I introduce standards used in spiritualism. Although those standards are for grading spirits and their teachings, they are useful in refined and piercing evaluation of religious phenomena. The spiritual standards complement James’s, Hick’s, Knitter’s, and Netland’s standards. Although most of the spiritual standards are rationally unjustifiable, they have practical value.

It is the widely respected follow up to The Spirits Book which was published in 1857 and is the second in a series of five books that Kardec wrote that are collectively known as the Spiritist Codification . In the 1850 s, whilst investigating the aerlife, Kardec communicated in seances with a collection of spirits named The Spirit of Truth who discussed many important topics such as life aer death, good and evil, the nature of the universe, the origin of spirits, and many other subjects. The Spirit of Truth allegedly counted many of history s great thinkers amongst its number such as Thomas Aquinas, Voltaire and Augustine of Hippo. Over time and after several sessions with the group Kardec had gathered enough information to convince him of life aer death and he was compelled to spread the teachings of The Spirit of Truth .

  • An Ethnography of Reading in a Spiritist Study Group
    1 Horiz.antropol. vol.1 no.se Porto Alegre 2006 An ethnography of reading in a spiritist study group Bernardo Lewgoy Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul – Brazil ABSTRACT As a religion, Kardecism confers fundamental importance to the study of its own body of literature, understood as the complement to religious revelation. Based upon ethnographic research in a traditional middle-class Kardecist centre in Porto Alegre, this article examines some ways through which the Kardecists, structured in small groups, interact with this written tradition. The group is fundamental in forming a spiritist identity for two reasons: firstly, it delimits internal alliances, whether or not these are translated into differences in doctrinal views. Secondly, it is one of the spaces in which the spiritist orator is formed by learning to make use of formulas extracted from a specific repertoire. Inspired by the discussions on orality and literacy and by the recent proposal for an ethnography of reading (Boyarin 1993), I aim to show that, if the spiritist speech is constructed as orality supported by texts, there are also very important informal dimensions to be considered which contextualize and actualize these group’s relation with sacred texts. Keywords: ethnography of reading, literacy, oral communication, spiritism. As a highly literate religion, Kardecist spiritism confers a special status – alongside charity and its ritual practices – to the reading and interpretation of its own particular religious bibliography, beginning with the ‘Third Revelation’ or ‘Codification’ of Allan Kardec, a text that functions as a source for defining religious authority and identities.1 Becoming socialized into spiritism means learning, studying and discussing in depth its canonical authors and works; in other words, entering a universe of debate and reflection dominated by a written and literate religious tradition, permeated by a ‘secondary orality’ – in Ong’s sense (1982).

Using a variety of primary and secondary source materials as the basis of a nuanced analysis of mesmerism within Hawthorne‘s texts, this thesis contends that Hawthorne ultimately uses the pseudoscience not only as a site of reflection and re-envisioning of the concepts of masculinity and female agency, but also problemizes the availability of truth not only to the author figure, but to the reader and society as a whole.

  • When the Spirits Speak: a History of the Kardecian Movement in Argentina] by Juan Gimeno, Juan Corbetta, and Fabiana Savall
    216 Book Reviews Cuando Hablan Los Espiritus—Historias del Movimiento Kardeciano en la Argentina [When the Spirits Speak: A History of the Kardecian Movement in Argentina] by Juan Gimeno, Juan Corbetta, and Fabiana Savall. Buenos Aires: Editorial Dunken, 2010. 384 pp. US$20. ISBN 9789870248163. Throughout human history, the common necessity to create myths, stories, urban legends, systems of thought, and beliefs associated with the possible survival of one’s personality after death has excited all cultures without exception. (p. 17) This quotation by Dr. Alejandro Parra begins the Prologue that introduces the book When the Spirits Speak—A History of the Kardecian Movement in Argentina [Cuando Hablan Los Espiritus—Historias del Movimiento Kardeciano en la Argentina]; it very succinctly summarizes a human need to know what is beyond the worldly life we humans experience here on the earth plane. Is there something more? What happens to the soul essence of the person once the transition known as death occurs? Can spirits return to communicate with those left here on the earth plane? These are a few of the questions raised and answered by coauthors Juan Gimeno, Juan Corbettta, and Fabiana Savall in this very detailed and well- documented academic book which tackles head-on the idea of life after death and the long and colorful history surrounding the belief systems connected with Spiritism and Modern Spiritualism. Most importantly, the history of Spiritism, as prescribed by Allan Kardec (1804–1869)—a French educator (and later, author) who gained widespread acclaim and notoriety as the founder of Spiritism—is the focus of this book.

  • SPIRITISM in ITS SIMPLEST EXPRESSION SUMMARY of the SPIRITS’ TEACHINGS and Their Manifestations
    SPIRITISM IN ITS SIMPLEST EXPRESSION SUMMARY OF THE SPIRITS’ TEACHINGS and their manifestations BY ALLAN KARDEC Author of The Spirits’ Book Founder of Revue Spiritiste and codifier of Spiritism _______ NEW EDITION FRENCH AND FRANCOPHONE SPIRITIST UNION SPIRITISM IN ITS SIMPLEST EXPRESSION _____________ HISTORY OF SPIRITISM. Around 1848, in the United States, one has called attention to a number of strange phenomena consisting of sounds, raps, and objects moving for unknown reasons. Such phenomena were often spontaneous, and happened with remarkable intensity and persistence, but one has also noticed that they took place especially under the influence of certain people, who became known as mediums, people who could somehow provoke them at will, making the repetition of such experiences possible. To that end, tables were most often used, not because they are particularly special objects, but for their convenience as pieces of furniture around which one could easily and naturally sit. Thus, the table would spin, then move about in all directions, jerk, turn upside down, rise in the air, rap strongly on the floor, etc. This phenomenon got to be known as turning tables or dance of the tables. At first it seemed it could be perfectly explained by an electric or magnetic current, or by the action of some unknown fluid, and such was the first opinion about it. It was soon realized, however, that these phenomena had intelligent effects and obeyed a will; the table would spin to the right or to the left towards a designated person; it would stand or one or two legs at command; it would strike the floor as many times as requested; it would beat to a rhythm, etc.
