Is the Search for Meaning in Life a Moral Obligation?

November's topic will be conducted by Bro. Jamie Shuler as she asks the question, "Is the Search for Meaning in Life a Moral Obligation?"

Synopsis:
In his 1942 philosophical essay The Myth of Sisyphus , Albert Camus proclaims, “There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that is suicide. Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy.” Camus posed the meaning of life as the most urgent of man's questions. Does the Masonic ideal to seek truth, paired with the duties to speak truth, be tolerant, and practice solidarity, support Camus’ quest to find a reason for the work that is living?

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.
