Arguably the earliest written work of feminist philosophy, Wollstonecraft produced a female manifesto in the time of the American and French Revolutions. This era induced many to reconsider not only the rights of men, but also of women, and none argued for female emancipation more eloquently or effectively than Wollstonecraft. Her strong use of analogy and philosophical language compared women of her day to both slaves and soldiers: forced to be docile and decorative. Wollstonecraft is passionate and candid as she lays out the principles feminine freedom, stating that education should be equal, there should be an end to the prejudices that proved so restrictive, and that women should be defined, not by their partner, but by their profession. Although received with both approval and anger, «A Vindication of the Rights of Woman» was ahead of its time, even modern, in its ideas, and it continues to be a foundational work for those who support women and equal rights.
The Division of Labor in Society
Émile Durkheim is often referred to as the father of sociology. Along with Karl Marx and Max Weber he was a principal architect of modern social science and whose contribution helped established it as an academic discipline. «The Division of Labor in Society», published in 1893, was his first major contribution to the field and arguably one his most important. In this work Durkheim discusses the construction of social order in modern societies, which he argues arises out of two essential forms of solidarity, mechanical and organic. Durkheim further examines how this social order has changed over time from more primitive societies to advanced industrial ones. Unlike Marx, Durkheim does not argue that class conflict is inherent to the modern Capitalistic society. The division of labor is an essential component to the practice of the modern capitalistic system due to the increased economic efficiency that can arise out of specialization; however Durkheim acknowledges that increased specialization does not serve all interests equally well. This important and foundational work is a must read for all students of sociology and economic philosophy.

Duncan's Ritual of Freemasonry
First published in 1866, by Malcolm C. Duncan, “Duncan’s Ritual of Freemasonry” provides a fascinating glimpse into the rights and rituals of this secretive organization. Duncan did not write this guide to shine light on Masonry for outsiders, but rather to help new members navigate the complex organization. As he states in the Preface: “The purpose of this work is not so much to gratify the curiosity of the uninitiated as to furnish a guide for the neophytes of the Order, by means of which their progress from grade to grade may be facilitated. Every statement in the book is authentic, as every proficient Mason will admit to himself, if not to be public, as he turns over its pages. The non-Masonic reader, as he peruses them, will perhaps be puzzled to imagine why matters of so little real importance to society at large should have been so industriously concealed for centuries, and still more surprised that society should have been so extremely inquisitive about them.” This definitive guide, still in use since the nineteenth-century, includes the first three degrees of the “Ancient York Right”, as well as four advanced degrees and elaborates on the many symbols, images, and physical gestures that a Freemason must know.

The Lost Keys of Freemasonry
First published in 1923, “The Lost Keys of Freemasonry” or “The Legend of Hiram Abiff,” by Manly P. Hall is an illuminating and informative explanation of Freemasonry symbolism and ritual. Hall was born in 1901 in Ontario, Canada and moved to California in 1919 and was immediately drawn into studying Christian mysticism, esoteric arts, world religions, and Greek philosophers. He began publishing numerous books on Freemasonry and mysticism in the 1920’s though he himself did not become a Mason until 1954. Hall achieved fame with the publication of his book “The Secret Teachings of All Ages” in 1928 and became a celebrated author, lecturer, astrologer, and mystic. In “The Lost Keys of Freemasonry,” one of his first works, Hall delves deeply into the complex symbolism of the ancient order and explains the degrees in the fascinating and secretive organization. Hall examines the various symbols and their deeper mystical meanings and its connection to ancient traditions and spiritual beliefs. This guide, a fascinating insight into this ancient order, is helpful to new and experienced Freemasons alike.
