Dieses Werk fordert dazu auf, hinter die Oberflache zu blicken, Symbole zu verstehen und das eigene Leben nach hoheren Prinzipien auszurichten.Ideal fur Horer, die sich fur Philosophie, Esoterik, symbolisches Denken und die groen Fragen der Menschheit interessieren.

Morals and Dogma is a collection of thirty-two essays which provide a philosophical rationale for the degrees (membership levels) of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite.The lectures provided a backdrop for the degrees by giving lessons in comparative religion, history, and philosophy.

En el otoño de 1882, Albert Pike -figura monumental de la masonería universal, Soberano Gran Comendador del Supremo Consejo de la Jurisdicción Sur de los Estados Unidos- emitió un informe trascendental que marcaria un hito en la historia masonica de España. Con erudicion, rigor juridico y una minuciosa revision de los hechos, Pike evaluo la legitimidad y continuidad del Supremo Consejo del Gran Oriente de España, sumido desde años atras en intensas disputas internas y externas. Su analisis, sustentado en cronologias, testimonios y la doctrina masonica internacional, culmino con un reconocimiento oficial que, junto con el apoyo de Grecia, Escocia e Irlanda, sello la posicion de la masoneria escocesa española en el concierto mundial. Este documento no es solo una pieza juridica y diplomatica, sino tambien un testimonio de la vision de Pike sobre la regularidad, la autoridad y la unidad en el Rito Escoces Antiguo y Aceptado. A traves de sus paginas se revive una epoca de tensiones, negociaciones y decisiones que definieron la estructura masonica en la peninsula iberica. Un documento imprescindible para historiadores, masones y estudiosos de las instituciones iniciaticas, que revela como la pluma de un solo hombre pudo influir en el destino de una nacion masonica.

La Masonería, tal como la veía Albert Pike, es la moralidad fundada en la fe y enseñada mediante símbolos. No es una religión, sino un culto en el que todos los hombres buenos se pueden unir, siendo su objetivo beneficiar a la humanidad fisica, social y espiritualmente, mediante la ayuda a las demas personas para cultivar la libertad, la amistad y el caracter. Este es el credo Masonico: Cree en la benevolencia, sabiduria y justicia infinitas de Dios; Espera el Triunfo final del Bien sobre el Mal, y la Armonia Perfecta como resultado final de todas las concordias y discordias del Universo; y Se Caritativo como Dios lo es, hacia la incredulidad, los errores, los disparates y las imperfecciones de la humanidad, porque todos somos una Gran Hermandad.

First published in 1871, Morals and Dogma offers philosophical lectures aligned with the first thirty-two degrees of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite. Pike fuses classical ethics, biblical exegesis, Kabbalah, Hermetic lore, and civic republicanism into a syncretic tapestry, in ornate Victorian prose dense with citation. Born of nineteenthcentury comparative religion and esoteric scholarship, it is less a ritual manual than a sustained meditation on symbolism, virtue, and the obligations of citizenship. Albert Pike (18091891), an American lawyer, editor, and soldier, served as Sovereign Grand Commander of the Southern Jurisdiction. A formidable autodidact and polyglot, he drew on French Masonic treatises, Orientalist philology, and classical sources to shape these lectures. His legal cast of mind, poetic temperament, and role in revising Rite rituals converge in an attempt to situate Freemasonry within a universal history of symbols and moral law. This volume rewards students of intellectual history, religious studies, and moral philosophy, as well as Masons seeking context for the Rites symbolism. Approach it as demanding nineteenthcentury thought: read slowly, test Pikes sources, and favor annotated editions. For patient, critical readers, Morals and Dogma yields a challenging, panoramic education in symbolism and ethics.Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the authors voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readabledistilled, never diluted.
