It was founded by the polymath [[Benjamin Franklin]] and is considered the first learned society founded in what became the United States. [[Philosophical Hall]], the society's headquarters and a museum, is located just east of [[Independence Hall]] in [[Independence National Historical Park]]. In 1965, in recognition of the building's history, it was designated a [[National Historic Landmark]]. The society has about 1,000 elected members. As of April 2020, 5,710 members had been inducted since its creation. Through research grants, published journals, the American Philosophical Society Museum, an extensive library, and regular meetings, the society supports a variety of disciplines in the humanities and the sciences. == History == [[File:Feke - Benjamin Franklin.png|thumb|[[Benjamin Franklin]] in 1746]] [[File:American Philosophical Society - Library Hall (53590617275).jpg|thumb|[[Library Company of Philadelphia|Library Hall]] in 2024]] [[File:American Philosophical Society Thomas Jefferson Garden.jpg|thumb|Thomas Jefferson Garden adjacent to Library Hall]] [[File:Franklin Hall meeting preparation.jpg|thumb|Franklin Hall at the American Philosophical Hall, named for [[Benjamin Franklin]], the organization's founder]] The American Philosophical Society was founded as the '''Philosophical Society''' in 1743 by [[Benjamin Franklin]], [[James Alexander (lawyer)|James Alexander]], [[Francis Hopkinson]], [[John Bartram]], [[Philip Syng|Philip Syng Jr.]], and others<ref>Duer, William Alexander.

It was common at the time for intellectual societies to invite members from around the world, where the society recruited members from other countries, including [[Alexander von Humboldt]], the [[Marquis de Lafayette]], [[Baron von Steuben]], [[Tadeusz Kościuszko]], and [[Princess Dashkova]]. The society lapsed into inactivity by 1746, but was revived in 1767.

[[Charles Darwin]], [[Robert Frost]], [[Louis Pasteur]], [[Elizabeth Cabot Agassiz]], [[John James Audubon]], [[Linus Pauling]], [[Margaret Mead]], [[Woodrow Wilson]], [[Maria Mitchell]], and [[Thomas Edison]] were all prominent members of the society.
