Dear Visitor,
In May 2001, the Council of the Philosophical Society made the historic decision to grant
recognition to affiliated groups of the Philosophical Society.
Any Society member can start up an affiliated group. Affiliated groups are free to use
the Philosophical Society Seal logo in their posters and other advertising materials. In
addition, the Philosophical Society member who leads an affiliated group is entitled
to use the Philosophical Society letterhead. Affiliated groups are responsible for their
own funding. Membership dues are paid to the group Treasurer, not to the Society.
Each affiliated group is expected to subscribe fully to the aims and principles of the
Philosophical Society. Discussions should be free and open, without bar to religion, race
or creed. Members should treat one another with courtesy and respect at all times. The
aim is to share our enthusiasm for philosophy, to strive for understanding, to become
better persons through the study of philosophy and its history, and through the exercise
of our powers of reason in all aspects of our lives.
If you need help or advice with any aspect of the startup process, please e-mail
klempner@fastmail.net. If you succeed in getting a group going, tell me about it
and I will include a feature in our e-mail newsletter Philosophy Pathways. Good luck!
Yours sincerely,
Geoffrey Klempner
