About us
This group meets monthly to discuss subjects of import to humanity. From philosophy and religion to science, history, and politics, this study center presents, discusses and debates a variety of subjects in the hope of gaining a better understanding of ourselves and the universe around us. By meeting and discussing important ideas and issues, we grow in understanding, tolerance, and wisdom.
The Masonic Philosophical Society was created by Universal Freemasonry to promote the eradication of ignorance in all its forms. Any person who is a freethinker, tolerant and open, and who seeks rational discourse is invited to attend and learn more about oneself, the world, the universe, and Freemasonry.
Mission Statement
The Masonic Philosophical Society embraces the concept of learning, not for school, but for life, and believes that all men, who seek it, deserve access to continued education. We further embrace the concept of a community environment, where ideas can be shared and debated in an open forum. From the seven liberal arts to the arcane, we seek to gain and to share the knowledge that is the legacy of mankind.

Can we Agree on a Definition of Justice?
Bellflower Masonic Lodge, 9813 Beach Blvd., Bellflower, CA, USAugust's topic will be conducted by Bro. Kevin Watson as he asks the question, "Can we Agree on a Definition of Justice?"
Synopsis:
A Freemason is expected to practice the four Cardinal virtues as described in Plato’s classic book from 375 B.C.E., “The Republic”. Those are Prudence, Fortitude, Temperance and Justice. Of those four, Justice is perhaps the least understood. The working title of Plato’s book was actually, “On Justice”, and it took 89,359 words in the original Greek text for Socrates to make his point. In the modern times, Justice has come to mean many other things. We will consider the various conceptions of Justice and determine if we can agree on a common understanding.Mission Statement:
