Freemasonry and Education in Contemporary Spain. Between Tolerance and Dogmatism

Abstract

In this paper, we mainly focus mainly on initiatives that were proposed by several masonic bodies, which are obediences, regional lodges or workshops, rather than only on people sharing their most relevant experiences, and thus present us with a wide range of interventions and deeds of Spain’s freemasonry. We must not allow the visibility Freemasonry has obtained in other areas and behaviors of freemasons as individuals hide the brethren’s developments in education.  How important was the learning process within the masonic lodges? What role did freemasonry play within Spain’s educational development?
