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 Gilgamesh?West End Public Library, Washington, DC
January's topic will be conducted by Bro. Danielle Slack in a study of Freemasonry discussing the question: "Are we Gilgamesh?"
Synopsis:
This presentation examines The Epic of Gilgamesh as one of the earliest stories to outline a hero's journey. By exploring Gilgamesh's trials, relationships, and transformations, we’ll uncover the themes that shaped the hero archetype in literature. From his beginnings as a tyrannical ruler to his growth through friendship, loss, and the quest for immortality, Gilgamesh’s story reveals lasting truths about the human experience.Mission Statement:
