ABOUT:

In this book, the author- an international journalist, who has worked in Paris and Rome for several years, talks about the origins of the Masonic movement, about the role of masons in the economic and political life of the West. The author, expressing his point of view on a number of issues, argues that the mystical cover of the ancient sect of "free masons" often hides the interests of influential circles of the financial oligarchy and the military-industrial complex of capitalist countries.
The book is designed for readers interested in this problem..

ADDITIONAL INFO

Freemasonry or Masonry consists of fraternal organisations that trace their origins to the local fraternities of stonemasons, which from the end of the fourteenth century regulated the qualifications of stonemasons and their interaction with authorities and clients. The degrees of Freemasonry retain the three grades of medieval craft guilds, those of Apprentice, Journeyman or fellow (now called Fellowcraft), and Master Mason. The candidate of these three degrees is progressively taught the meanings of the symbols of Freemasonry, and entrusted with grips, signs and words to signify to other members that he has been so initiated. The initiations are part allegorical morality play and part lecture. The three degrees are offered by Craft (or Blue Lodge) Freemasonry. Members of these organisations are known as Freemasons or Masons. There are additional degrees, which vary with locality and jurisdiction, and are usually administered by their own bodies (separate from those who administer the craft degrees).

The basic, local organisational unit of Freemasonry is the Lodge. The Lodges are usually supervised and governed at the regional level (usually coterminous with either a state, province, or national border) by a Grand Lodge or Grand Orient. There is no international, worldwide Grand Lodge that supervises all of Freemasonry; each Grand Lodge is independent, and they do not necessarily recognise each other as being legitimate.

Modern Freemasonry broadly consists of two main recognition groups. Regular Freemasonry insists that a volume of scripture is open in a working lodge, that every member profess belief in a Supreme Being, that no women are admitted (although, in some jurisdictions, those who transition to women after being initiated may stay; see below), and that the discussion of religion and politics is banned. Continental Freemasonry is now the general term for the jurisdictions which have removed some, or all, of these restrictions. .

Масо́нство (франкмасо́нство, фр. Franc-maçonnerie, англ. Freemasonry) — движение, появившееся в 1717 году[1] в виде тайного общества. Оно берёт своё начало из малоизвестных истоков в конце XVI — начале XVII века. Основной версией происхождения масонства считается версия о происхождении от средневековых строительных гильдий каменщиков, однако существуют теории о более древнем происхождении масонства, начало которого выводится от орденов тамплиеров или — в других версиях — от ордена розенкрейцеров[2][3]. Название «масон» или «франкмасон» происходит от фр. franc-maçon (в старофранцузском masson, англ. freemason), употребляется также буквальный перевод этого названия — вольный каменщик

Этика и философия масонства опираются на монотеистические религии, на древние конституции вольных каменщиков, их регламенты, статуты и уложения. Масонство символически использует инструменты строительных товариществ и легенды о строительстве Храма Соломона, чтобы выражать метафорически то, что и масонами, и их критиками описывается как «система морали, скрытая в аллегориях и проиллюстрированная символами»
Масонство административно организовано в суверенные великие ложи (в некоторых странах «великий восток»), каждая из которых руководит масонскими ложами в границах собственной юрисдикции. Численность лож, как правило, варьируется от 15 до 100 человек, объединённых территориально. Местные ложи учреждаются великой ложей, которая в одной стране существует только одна. Некоторые великие ложи признают друг друга, некоторые нет, в зависимости от следования древним масонским правилам. Существуют также организации дополнительных степеней, в которых состоят члены символических масонских лож и которые обладают собственными независимыми органами управления. Однако в некоторых масонских организациях символические ложи могут быть подчинены управляющим органам этих дополнительных организаций
Сейчас масонство распространено по всему миру и представлено в различных организационных формах — ложах, великих ложах, верховных советах, капитулах, ареопагах, консисториях, федерациях и конфедерациях. Общая численность вольных каменщиков в мире оценивается в 4 000 000 человек
