About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Join us in celebrating World Philosophy Day with our Talk "Wisdom of Neoplatonism- Towards Unity Through Diversity"


This philosophical current brought together Platonic and Pythagorean elements, Stoic and Christian concepts and an important synthesis of Eastern philosophies. This ensemble, known as ‘Neoplatonism’, was so far reaching that it had a powerful influence on Christian, medieval and modern thought.

Neoplatonist philosophy is an inspiring example of Unity through Diversity in today’s time


There will also be refreshments, coffee, tea and snacks.

We look forwards to seeing you there!

The philosophy promoted by New Acropolis is, above all, a way of life which is accessible to all and consists of putting into practice the teachings of the wise men and women of all times. The application of knowledge results in a better individual, who will therefore be capable of building a better world.

Philosophical experience forms the basis for a model of active and participative culture, which brings out the qualities of each person, broadens the horizons of the mind and fosters all expressions of the spirit.

This type of culture makes us free and better.

The sense of service to humanity takes the form of a firm commitment to today’s society and to the future, and a determination to answer the great questions that arise from living in a world full of contradictions and challenges.

If philosophy – as a search for the truth – manages to bring us closer to the root of things, to their deepest cause, everything takes on a new meaning. It is important to know why we act and who we want to benefit with our actions and what we want to achieve.

A practical philosophy, which helps people to live, to harmonise the human being with others and with the world, to accept what one is and to fight for what one wants to be.
