Thirty-third and Last Degree: Masonry or Politics? is a book written by J.D. Buck that explores the relationship between Freemasonry and politics. The book delves into the history and teachings of Freemasonry, particularly the 33rd degree, which is the highest degree attainable in the Scottish Rite of Freemasonry. Buck examines the role of Freemasonry in shaping political ideologies and movements throughout history, including the American Revolution and the French Revolution. He also discusses the controversies surrounding the influence of Freemasonry in politics and the accusations of conspiracy theories. The book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the intersection between Freemasonry and politics and its impact on society.Albert Pike was responsible for the tremendous expansion of the Scottish Rite because of his comprehension of occult law. After his death, Christian fundamentalist Masons, repudiated his esoterism and sought to discredit his teachings. This discourse also brings up the interesting question of whether the Sovereign Grand Commander of the Scottish Rite should hold the office for life and what his qualifications should be. Written 1907, it addresses the same crisis that is facing Freemasonry today. Are we progressing? And in which direction? We are facing a crisis. Increase of numbers in the Order; ambition for active, life office; the building of a great Temple that shall cost nearly a million of dollars, and involve the Order hopelessly in debt for generations to come, more likely means ruin. In the meantime the real spirit, aims and ideals of Masonry are being lost in the rubbish or dying for lack of support and appreciation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
