The San Antonio Philosophical SocietyThe San Antonio Philosophical Society is an unincorporated nonprofit association founded in April of 2023 by Profs. Marie Feldmeier and Andrew Hill.
"Whenever two or more people decide to work together to accomplish a common purpose, they've formed an unincorporated association. If that purpose is to generate a profit, then the unincorporated association they've formed is a partnership or a joint venture. This, then, is the definition of an unincorporated association: two or more people coming together to work toward a common goal. And, as more commonly happens, if that common purpose is to accomplish some social or public good, they have formed an unincorporated nonprofit association. In both cases, no legal paperwork needs to be drawn up or filed for the organization to be considered an unincorporated association." by Belle Wong, J.D. updated January 31, 2023 A review of US-based local philosophical organizations

Charles Homer Haskins reminds us: “In all these matters, we are the heirs and successors, not of Athens and Alexandria, but of Paris (c. 1200) and Bologna (1088).” We stand in the tradition of the medieval “gilds of masters and students, universitas societas magistrorum discipulorumque…The fundamental organization is the same, the historic continuity is unbroken. They created the university tradition of the modern world, that common tradition which belongs to all our institutions of higher learning, the newest as well as the oldest, and which all college and university men should know and cherish.” ~ The Rise of Universities (1923)
