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- Are We Strong Enough to Be Hercules?West End Public Library, Washington, DC
May's topic will be conducted by Bro. Danielle Slack in a study of Freemasonry discussing the question: "Are We Strong Enough to Be Hercules?"
Synopsis:
This presentation invites us into a shared exploration of the myth of Hercules—not just as a hero of legend, but as a mirror for our own struggles and growth. While Hercules is remembered for his superhuman strength, his greatest challenges were deeply human: grief, guilt, rage, and the search for redemption. Together, we’ll discuss what it really means to be “strong”—emotionally, morally, spiritually—and whether we, like Hercules, can rise above our flaws and burdens. Through open dialogue, we’ll examine his Twelve Labors and the inner trials behind them to ask: what does it take to walk the path of a hero?Mission Statement:
