Category: Freemasonry

During my pursuit of knowledge and personal development I happened upon the topic of the Ancient Stoic philosophy. My research has uncovered a striking correlation between stoicism, the chivalric codes of the middle ages and Freemasonry. By looking at the virtues of our fraternity from another angle, I was able to broaden my understanding of what is meant by “Temperence, Fortitude, Prudence, and Justice”.  The article I found does not directly mention Freemasonry, but does mention the four cardinal virtues and “Brotherly Love”.

The article is titled “The Stoic Virtues and Code of Honor” by Donald J. Robertson The correlations to Freemasonry and the Royal Arch degrees are striking. I found it enlightening and I hope you do as well.
