Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Behind its carefully constructed image of fraternity and benevolence, Freemasonry has long cultivated a network of secrecy, power, and influence. In Freemasonry: Ideology, Organization and Policy, Dieter Schwarz dismantles the myths and presents Freemasonry as an ideological force with ambitions that extend well beyond the lodge.Schwarz exposes the philosophical foundations of the Masonic worldview, tracing how its symbols, rituals, and hierarchies reinforce a closed system of belief. He reveals how its organizational structure functions as a hidden order-cohesive, international, and largely unaccountable to the public.This book argues that Freemasonry is not merely a fraternal society, but a movement that has repeatedly exerted pressure on culture, politics, and intellectual life. Through its policy aims and its covert methods, Freemasonry emerges as a challenge to the transparency of democratic institutions and the societies that value openness and accountability.Far from harmless ritual, Schwarz contends, Freemasonry cultivates a parallel authority-an internal chain of loyalty that often supersedes civic duty. Its emphasis on secrecy and exclusivity allows it to maneuver behind the scenes, advancing agendas without public consent or scrutiny.Freemasonry: Ideology, Organization and Policy is both a historical study and a warning. It urges readers to recognize the hidden influence of the Craft and to question whether an organization built on secrecy can ever truly coexist with principles of transparency and national sovereignty.For those interested in the intersection of ideology, power, and covert networks, this book remains a provocative and uncompromising critique of one of the world's most enigmatic societies.…
