Autonomous morality and heteronomous morality

Paulo Degering R Jr

In the heteronomous world, we attribute everything to something external: the fault lies with the devil or the obsessor, the effect lies with divine wrath, and the reparation lies with the karmic imposition. Everything, absolutely everything in the heteronomous world comes as an external imposition, through laws that we respect out of obligation and not out of understanding. And in the absence of her or her actors, we find ourselves without limits and even without self-love.

Punishment and reward: you need to study Paul Janet to understand Allan Kardec

Paulo Degering R Jr

Many, when reading Kardec, suppose that he, due to the words he used in his works, was just reproducing ideas and concepts originating from the Catholic Church. Nothing could be further from the truth, as we will see in this article, since Kardec was, in fact, using the concepts widely disseminated and understood in the midst of French cultured society, which, by the way, was the class that was most interested in the study of Spiritism.
