Este ensayo, a la vez filosófico, antropológico y profundamente humanista, explora la compleja relación entre la masonería y el patriotismo desde una mirada crítica pero constructiva. Partiendo del contraste entre el sufrimiento colectivo y su ritualización en el marco masónico, Consuegra Arquiciega argumenta que la logia no es solo un refugio simbólico, sino una escuela activa de compasión, donde el duelo se convierte en ética y el rito en transformación social.
El texto recorre, con erudición y sensibilidad, las paradojas históricas de la institución: su discurso universalista frente a sus exclusiones pasadas; su fraternidad ideal frente a las barreras sociales y de género; su cosmopolitismo frente al auge de los nacionalismos modernos. Con el apoyo conceptual de autores como Schopenhauer, Kant, Clifford Geertz y Lévi-Strauss, el autor traza una genealogía moral del masón como sujeto que trasciende las fronteras sin negarlas, que ama a su patria no por sus mitos étnicos, sino por sus instituciones justas.
En tiempos de globalización deshumanizante y reacciones identitarias, el ensayo plantea que el verdadero patriotismo masónico no es tribal ni excluyente, sino ilustrado: no niega las patrias, pero las subordina a una ética universal. En palabras de José Martí, "Patria es humanidad".
La obra cierra con una ferviente invitación a los buenos hermanos para que, sin tregua ni descanso, retomen el camino de la piedra y trabajen activamente por la dignidad humana. Porque, como recuerda Schopenhauer y repite el autor, "la compasión es la base de toda moralidad", y la masonería, cuando es fiel a su mito, es esa compasión hecha rito, fraternidad y acción.
