In its more than 270-year history, Freemasonry has developed its own understanding of humanity, which occupies a unique position in European thought. The Masonic view of humanity is not exclusive and is compatible with any religious or philosophical worldview. However, it establishes binding ethical norms that are acceptable to people of all cultures, backgrounds, or beliefs. Freemasonry sees itself as a high school of tolerance and brotherhood, uniting all Masons around the world in this ideal. It allows everyone to hold their own beliefs and ways of life, but it obliges everyone to adhere to the same ethical standards. It does not convey revelations or dogmas but aims to lead to a very special style of living. Giuliano Di Bernardo explains the Masonic view of humanity and illustrates its position in philosophical thought.
