The objective of this research is to investigate death in the view of the spiritism doctrine structured by Allan Kardec on XIX century, based on the system of “cultural invariants” proposed by Maurice Godelier, being the “cultural invariants” characteristics common among diferent religions, be able to apply them in order to obtain a better comparative understanding between the traditions. In this way we seek not only to understand the theme of death in Kardec’s work, but also to apply the model of “cultural invariants” to a religion that had not yet been approached from this perspective.References
