Aristide Rieffel to Family

Scope and Content Note

Scope and Content Note

AR's letters to MAR contained a great deal of discussion of events in the family, large and small. However, AR also lectured his son on issues ranging from philosophy and religion to marriage and business. These letters, written over a seventeen year time span, offer a good insight into the development of AR's thought in his later years.

Peace, War, and the State

Scope and Content Note

Scope and Content Note

The ways in which religion shapes morality was a crucial subject to AR. This subseries contains the plan, preface, and conclusion for a book on religion, providing an overview of his religious views.

Spiritisme

Scope and Content Note

The pseudo-science of spiritism enjoyed a brief popularity in Europe at the turn of the twentieth century. Several of AR's friends as well a number of prominent people became believers. AR investigated the phenomenon and denounced it as not only a hoax, but a danger to social order.
