Who would have predicted that, in 1957, under the decisive impulse of a young
man from Buenos Aires, a great international philosophical organization would
have been born and, over the years, become active in 50 countries around the
world?
This is what thousands of people, members and supporters, on every continent
celebrated this July 15th: the 51st anniversary of the International
Organization New Acropolis!
The individual behind this great adventure, Professor Jorge Angel Livraga,
dreamed right from the start of enabling philosophy to regain its rightful place
in every part of the world.
What is meant by philosophy? It is a true quest both
within every human being, through self-knowledge, and in the outside world,
through a lifestyle imbued with wisdom.
Over the years, the volunteers at New Acropolis have accomplished the feat of
fulfilling this dream by establishing, on every continent, schools of philosophy
in the classical manner.
These schools, including those in Canada, serve as laboratories of continuous
training, enabling each individual to achieve the best within himself and thus
become a better citizen.
Everywhere around the world, members of New Acropolis put
the philosophical training they receive into service in their community.
And to think that all of this started with the grand idea of a young man… So
yes, anything is possible for those who learn to unify their highest thoughts,
their most humanist sentiments and their most noble actions!
Happy birthday to New Acropolis and to all of those, in Canada and elsewhere
around the world, who are voluntarily working for a more human world!
