The Deillusionist Thoughts on Self-Knowledge and Immortality

The author, a recognized specialist in classical spiritism and its philosophy, a Russian translator of the works of Allan Kardec, Léon Denis, Arthur Conan Doyle, and Yogananda Ramacharaka, shares his thoughts with readers on the fundamental problems of existence, inviting them to deeply reflect on the soul, God, science, and religion, and other "eternal" questions. As an illustrative companion, the author provides in his translation a selection of thoughts from one of the pillars of spiritism theory - the English writer Arthur Conan Doyle. A book of this kind is not so much intended for reading as for studying. It is essentially a textbook, and therefore the material is presented by the author in a measured way – divided into readings-lessons. But the time and effort spent by the reader will undoubtedly not be wasted and will pay off abundantly in all of their future life. To call things by their names, it should be said that this book is one of immense intellectual, philosophical, and cultural power.
