New Acropolis UK is a registered educational charity and part of an international network of affiliated organisations in more than 50 countries, working in the fields of Philosophy, Culture and Volunteering.

Our purpose is to provide a holistic philosophical education which can help human beings to understand and develop themselves and encourage people to work together in order to meet the challenges of our times.

We understand philosophy in its classical sense as philo-sophia – love of wisdom. Wisdom is practical and active rather than purely intellectual. It is knowing how to act, knowing what is 'good' and knowing which ends are worth striving for.

Philosophy


Comparative study and a way of life aligned with our highest values

Culture


To bring out the best in all human beings

Volunteering


To act because it is right and not becasuse it is profitable
