Title: excellent philosophical enquiry into a religious phenomenon
Review: This book deals with Freemasonry as a phenomenon, which is to say it concerns itself with freemasonry's role as an object of conciousness, as the starting point for an enquiry into not whether it is a religion or not, but into how popular/public (including freemasons')conceptions of freemasonry and by extension 'religion' may be formed. The author's findings suggest that any thinking on religion acquires, or rather is analogous to, religiousness itself, in so far as 'religiousness' as an idea, as an object of conciousness, that is as a 'concept', has, by its very conceivability, acquired an ontological status already equivalent to the initial 'epistemological' premise.
