Frequently Asked Questions

At New Acropolis, we believe Philosophy is a life-long pursuit, something that can enrich all facets of our lives, as it has the potential to bring about a fundamental change in how we view ourselves, the world we live in, and our role in it. Therefore a 20-week course is really only an introduction to learning to live with the adventurous spirit of a Philosopher! Classes take place once a week for two hours, across 20 weeks, usually at our centers or branches in Indiranagar and Jayanagar. Our classes are limited to 15 students to allow for personalized attention. The course also includes a simple mid-term and end-of-course assessment to ensure students are able to grasp concepts adequately. The instructor stays in touch with students beyond the weekly classes to ensure learning and application beyond the classroom setting, because Philosophy, after all, is meant to be lived!

The instructors of the course are first and foremost students of philosophy, and have studied with New Acropolis for several years. More importantly, instructors make efforts to imbibe and live the wisdom they have encountered through their classes through their own direct experience. Instructors undergo a one-year Instructor training program, followed by taking on a role as assistant-teacher. All instructors conduct classes on a voluntary bases, keeping with the ethos of a School of Philosophy.

New Acropolis is a completely volunteer-run organization – all classes and activities, including the maintenance of our centers and branches, are managed and run by our member-volunteers. While we are a not-for-profit organization, however, we do need to charge a basic fee to cover our costs to maintain our centers and branches.

The Living Philosophy Course is the foundational introductory course offered by New Acropolis for any seeker of wisdom. However, this course is just the beginning of a potentially life long journey of bringing a philosophical approach to daily living. Upon successful completion of this course, students may choose to continue with the advanced studies program as members of the organisation. Here, the engagement goes beyond weekly classes, to a framework that promotes practicing values and principles discussed in the classrooms through action and volunteering.
