ISBN: 9798197258663 - stone and light: the mythic world of freemasonry (5 risultati)

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Stone and Light: The Mythic World of Freemasonry by Marcelo Ponte offers a clear, thoughtful exploration of one of the most misunderstood traditions in modern history. Moving beyond rumor and speculation, this book examines the symbolic language of Freemasonry as a system of meaning rooted in philosophy, ethics, and personal development. From the transformation of operative stonemasons into speculative thinkers to the enduring imagery of the Temple, light, and the builder, Ponte reveals how myth and history have intertwined to create a rich and layered tradition. Drawing on figures such as Albert Pike and the legendary Hiram Abiff, the book reframes Masonic teachings as a form of living mythology rather than secret doctrine. It addresses persistent misconceptions, including the influence of the Leo Taxil hoax, and explains how symbols like light and darkness have been misinterpreted over time. Through careful analysis, the reader is invited to see Freemasonry not as a hidden power structure, but as a symbolic system concerned with knowledge, balance, and self reflection. At its core, this work presents Freemasonry as a path of inner construction, where the true temple is built within. Blending historical insight with philosophical depth, Stone and Light speaks to readers interested in symbolism, myth, and the search for meaning. Whether approaching the subject for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding, this book offers a grounded and compelling perspective on a tradition that continues to inspire curiosity and debate.
