What we’re about
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.

See all- Can We Seek Truth Across Faiths Without Surrendering Our Own?Link visible for attendees
June's study will be conducted by Bro. Danielle Slack as he asks the question, "Can We Seek Truth Across Faiths Without Surrendering Our Own? Understanding the power of transformative dialogue in "Judaism Despite Christianity""
Synopsis:
We will explore the extraordinary correspondence between Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy, a Christian philosopher, and Franz Rosenzweig, a Jewish theologian, as presented in Judaism Despite Christianity. Their letters, written during World War I, model what it means to enter into dialogue across deep religious difference—without demanding compromise, and yet inviting transformation.
Drawing on Masonic ideals, we will reflect on how Freemasonry similarly fosters a space where individuals of different faiths can seek Truth side by side, through moral commitment, shared discussions, and brotherly love. We’ll explore the theme of “speech-thinking,” the call for a Johannine age rooted in dialogue rather than dogma, and the idea that disagreement, held with reverence, can itself be sacred.
As Freemasons and non-Masons alike consider the question of Truth in a divided world, we ask: can we learn to speak across our differences with both conviction and compassion—and be changed by it?Mission Statement:
