MASONIC PHILOSOPHICAL SOCIETY

Per Veritatem Vis - Strength Through Truth

The Masonic Philosophical Society (M.P.S.) was established with the primary ambition to destroy ignorance, a dividing force in Humanity's evolution, by disseminating Masonic principles through dynamic discussions. Morte Ad Ignorantiam embodied this vision and was therefore chosen to be the Society's Official Motto.

Membership to the Masonic Philosophical Society is free and open to the public, Masons and non-Masons alike, without distinction of race, age, sex, creed or religion. The MPS welcomes everyone who is upright, free, of mature age, sound judgement and strict morals, whatever may be his or her convictions in matters of religion, philosophy, or politics.

Why MPS

The Masonic Philosophical Society was founded in January of 2009 to provide interactive educational opportunities for adults, beyond the nationally required post-secondary schooling. As a catalyst for the eventual creation of the nonprofit, a group of concerned citizens and educators convened a series of meetings in 2008 to discuss their growing apprehension regarding the lack of tolerant conversations within their communities. Mobilizing scholars and philanthropists in Utah and Colorado, the MPS was instituted to undermine ignorance and promote open-minded, progressive discussions through free community based education in order to increase tolerance, cultural awareness, and understanding of different religions and beliefs.

Who We Are

Members of the Masonic Philosophical Society come from all different walks of life. Regardless of race, religion, or creed, all members participate and learn through interactive discussions and open-minded debate. By meeting and discussing important issues, community members who attend grow in understanding, tolerance, and wisdom.

What We Do

The mission of the Masonic Philosophical Society is to destroy ignorance through the advancement of research and understanding of the sciences, arts, and humanities. The MPS embraces the concept of learning for life, not just in school, in a community environment where ideas can be shared and debated in an open forum. Through education, our organization seeks to stimulate thinking, reading, and ethical behavior in daily life.

To bring death to ignorance, The Society dedicated its institution to the studying of all aspects of knowledge through a Masonic lens. Such actions would ultimately lead to the formation of the Seal, a nine-pointed star, or enneagram.
