The Spirits' Book (Le Livre des Esprits in original French) is part
of the Spiritist Codification, and is regarded as one of the five
fundamental works of Spiritism. It was published by the French
educator Allan Kardec on April 18, 1857. It was the first and
remains the most important spiritist book, because it addresses in
first hand all questions developed subsequently by Allan Kardec.
The book is structured as a collection of questions regarding the
origin of the spirits, the purpose of the life, the order of the
universe, evil and good and the afterlife. Its answers, according
to Kardec, were given to him by a group of spirits who identified
themselves as "The Spirit of Truth," with whom he communicated in
several Spiritist sessions during the 1850s. Kardec, who considered
himself an "organizer" rather than an author, grouped the questions
and their answers by theme, occasionally including lengthier
digressions the spirits had dictated to him on specific subjects,
some signed by philosophers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas
Aquinas and writers including Voltaire. Allan Kardec is the pen
name of the French teacher and educator Hippolyte Leon Denizard
Rivail. He was born in Lyon in 1804. He was raised as a Catholic.
He was a disciple and collaborator of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi,
and a teacher of mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy,
physiology, comparative anatomy and French in Paris. For one of his
research papers, he was inducted in 1831 into the Royal Academy of
Arras.
