"As they embark on their Masonic journey, many members may begin to understand the philosopher Descartes' famous statement, ""I doubt, therefore I am"", an idea that became a fundamental element of Western philosophy. Our existence is full of doubts.

Freemasons searching for Truth by Light are not afraid to ask questions and pose existential inquiries. But with so many misunderstood traditions, Masons might need a clear masonic guide to interpret their questions about the fundamentals of the modern Craft. Methodic doubt is a way to search for certainty. And this pocketbook will help the reader in that search for knowledge and enlightenment. In fifty-two mini essays, the author, Istv�n Horv�th provides the proverbial ""food for thought"" for each week in a year: to question, to think, to contemplate, and share doubts. From an original thinker and lecturer on Freemasonry, this provocative compendium must be in the library of every Mason. It is an invitation to engage in an open dialogue with the author and with the fellow brothers in the lodge. For non-Mason readers it offers a glimpse into the dilemmas of today's Masonry."

Reviews for Weekly Masonic Doubts: A pocket companion of squarely critical ponderings for the 21st century

"""The way the author addresses masonry is refreshing. His European background brings a much needed cultural context to masonry which is relatively new in this part of Canada. Masonry as a way of thinking."" Dale Graham, WM, Templum Lucis Lodge ""W. Bro. Horvath has an excellent reputation for being a very astute Masonic scholar and researcher and when W. Bro. Horvath says or writes something, one pays strict attention. If any brother wishes to broaden their Masonic horizons, then ""Weekly Masonic Doubts"" is an excellent place to start."" Allison Growling, WM, Mercer Wilson Lodge ""Reading W. Bro. Istvan Horvath's book ""Weekly Masonic Doubts"", I realized that it broadened my thinking of Masonry that I have not considered in the past. By doing so, I internally challenged some of those old personal views and traditions."" Thomas A. Wills 33ᵒ, Lieutenant Grand Commander A.A.S.R. of Freemasonry of Canada ""The book was not at all what I was expecting. But, I loved it. I really, really, like the idea that it gives Brothers guided topics for their own individual contemplation, and I think it a superb way of educating Masons. I was also quite impressed with the topics selected for that contemplation."" Cameron M. Bailey, Past Grand Master, Washington ""I like the style and the thought provoking chapters - in fact I can see me writing short lectures round many of the topics using the book's prose as the basis of the lectures for our brethren..."" Mark Walton, Deputy Grand Master, Hungary"
