FAQs

New Acropolis is a School of Philosophy in the classical manner, where we endeavour to practically implement philosophy in our daily lives, beyond mere intellectual understanding. Through our initiatives, we strive to extract universal principles from the combined heritage of humanity across civilisations and cultures, and apply a consolidation of ancient wisdom in the present, in order to create a bridge to our future.
Taking inspiration from the timeless principles of the Indian tradition, New Acropolis Cultural Organization, works with a specific focus to rediscover India’s rich artistic, scientific and human heritage and offer it as a vital contribution to collective human progress relevant to our times today.

These events are specially curated for and open to New Acropolis Culture Circle and members of the school only. These events are more interactive, varied in subjects and focusing on CULTURE with a very wide world view.

Yes, it’s an excellent way to stay in touch with the school. And several ex members and ex students of the Living Philosophy course have joined this program.

New Acropolis Culture Circle offers twelve carefully curated, highly interactive events a year, exploring CULTURE in its various forms, all with a philosophical lens. There will be one event every month. Then theres the added benefit of Library membership and priority invitations to other events happening at school. The most important offering, though intangible, is the possibility of being a part of a community of like minded people.
The events with New Acropolis Culture Circle, would be interactive workshops, panel discussions and performances on a range of topics from practical psychology, theatre workshops, classical dance & music performances, art and ecology workshops, book readings, film screening etc.

5. How is it different from the Living Philosophy course that is offered?

While the Living Philosophy, our flagship course offers a 15 week introduction to Philosophy, which is also the precursor to becoming a member of the school of philosophy for continual studies. Being a member is not only coming to classes every week etc but a way to allow this wisdom to become a way of life. On the other hand, New Acropolis Culture Circle is a yearly subscription to a community that meets once a month and focuses on exploration of CULTURE from varied perspectives.

The Culture Circle is indeed very unique in its content and offering! I absolutely love the monthly events which are inspiring, educative and thought provoking. My best wishes & sincere thanks to everyone in The Culture Circle Team.

Tushar Gupta, Businessman

If at New Acropolis we learn the tools to bring philosophy into practice in our daily lives, then the Culture Circle curates experiences that are like lodestars- stirring our imagination and pushing us towards reflection and action beyond which we thought we were capable.

Aarti Wig, Founder and Country Director of Yunus Social Business India

Culture Circle has been a truly enriching experience. I eagerly await their monthly event. The topics they cover are so varied, interesting and yet relatable by all.  I am amazed at how simple it is to understand philosophy. Never in my entire life had I thought that I would generate an interest in philosophy; and Culture Circle has been the reason for this. As a result, I feel more connected to the people around me, the environment and more importantly – myself.
