October's will be conducted by Bro. Loretta Demko in a study of Freemasonry, discusses the topic: "Is Objectivism Compatible with Freemasonry?"

Synopsis:
Objectivism is the political philosophy promulgated by the author Ayn Rand through her various writings, particularly **Atlas Shrugged**. Objectivism's main ideology promotes *laissez-faire* capitalism, the importance of pursuing one's own happiness, the necessity of freedom of thought and creativity, and opposes any concept of God or a Greater Power. Freemasonry works for the glory of God and the Perfection of Humanity, and when one is initiated into Freemasonry he must declare a belief in God or a Higher Power. So are these two philosophies compatible in any way? At first glance it seems they are not, but this discussion with delve into the deeper aspects and definitions of each one to see if there can be a point of agreement.

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 share the knowledge that is the legacy of mankind.
