The Spiritist Fallacy

Published: 1923

The Spiritist Fallacy is a critical examination of spiritism, a movement that claims communication with the spirits of the dead. Written by René Guénon, the book delves into the philosophical and metaphysical errors inherent in spiritist beliefs and practices. Guénon argues that spiritism is a pseudo-religion that misleads individuals by promoting false notions about the nature of the soul, the afterlife, and the possibility of communication with spirits. The book aims to dispel misunderstandings surrounding spiritism and highlights the dangers it poses to spiritual well-being, advocating for a return to true metaphysical principles.
