The topics of reflection and philosophical works of Freemasons

Two Freemasons of Mulhouse describe the reflection work of the workshops of their lodge. In his office, Jean Pierre WALTER takes out a pile of files: these are works in progress that he leads to fuel debates and reflections within his masonic lodge. They can be societal or philosophical. It can be about time, tolerance or the place of women in the company for example. These written presentations require several months of work. The subjects of these "boards" are defined inside each workshop. On the other hand the "questions in the lodges" emanate from the national authorities of the Grand Orient and are studied everywhere in France. Jean SERE explains that the national lodge of the Grand Orient of France expects in return the result of the reflections of each lodge. He cites as an example of questions to be studied: what should be the place of secularism in European citizenship? Where do social gains end and privileges begin?
