New Acropolis Ottawa celebrates World Philosophy Day

UNESCO invites the whole world to celebrate World Philosophy Day by organizing "activities and inquiries” with philosophical tones.

In Ottawa, New Acropolis, School of Philosophy in the Classical Tradition, is responding to this call by inviting the community to celebrate philosophy's essential role in the life of the individual and society.

Philosophy is not just one discipline among many, but a global attitude toward research and an awakening of the human being to all fields of study and events around the world.

The primary focus of philosophy is an irrepressible, lucid attraction to the discovery and application of wisdom. This wisdom, which is never confined within a specific system, doctrine, being, thing, location or time, can be experienced at any time, anywhere and through all life activities.

New Acropolis Canada is therefore responding to UNESCO's call by offering a special evening that will enable the citizens of Ottawa to rediscover philosophy where it is best expressed: in daily life and through everything experienced by the individual and human society.

In a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, listen to drops of wisdom from some of the great masters of East and West, reflect on essential questions and engage in lively discussions.
