what is pantheism and the relationship to fremsonry?
Pantheism recognizes the unity of hierarchical scales in nature and is characterized as a quintessential form of paganism, as an article published by The Square Magazine describes.
In the early eighteenth-century Craft, pantheism and Arianism are discussed as potential veils covering non-theism within early Masonic thought, allegorically alluded to through notions such as "great architects" and "supreme beings", according to an article on The Square Magazine's website. During the period between 1710 and 1730, early scientific leaders of the Craft described nature as achieving movement through a non-personalised energy in contrast to a personalised "Providence"—a framework characterized at best as pantheism, but essentially non-theism, as an article on The Square Magazine's website records.
The historical library supplied contains no texts treating pantheism directly, so broader philosophical debate across the literature cannot be developed beyond these findings.
