Weekly Masonic Doubts - E-book - ePub

As they embark on their Masonic journey, many members may begin to understand the philosopher Descartes' famous statement, "I doubt, therefore I am", an idea that became a fundamental element of Western philosophy. Our existence is full of doubts. Freemasons searching for Truth by Light are not afraid to ask questions and pose existential inquiries. But with so many misunderstood traditions, Masons might need a clear masonic guide to interpret their questions about the fundamentals of the modern Craft.
Methodic doubt is a way to search for certainty. And this pocketbook will help the reader in that search for knowledge and enlightenment. In fifty-two mini essays, the author, István Horváth provides the proverbial "food for thought" for each week in a year: to question, to think, to contemplate, and share doubts. From an original thinker and lecturer on Freemasonry, this provocative compendium must be in the library of every Mason.
It is an invitation to engage in an open dialogue with the author and with the fellow brothers in the lodge. For non-Mason readers it offers a glimpse into the dilemmas of today's Masonry. You get presented and clarified all the major issues of present day's Freemasonry without the long, pretentious, and boring treatises which sit on the shelves collecting dust.
