Welcome To New Acropolis

The New Acropolis Cultural Association was created 54 years ago, in 1957. Ever since then, it aims to provide people with the best kind of philosophical education – one that is suited to our modern times, independent and unrestricted by any religious, political or socio-economic influences.

Initiated by Professor Jorge Angel Livraga Rizzi, together with a group of young university teachers and students, the project soon attracted leading personalities from the world of arts and culture. The focus that brought them all together was an idea and a movement which were both enriching for the mind and practical at the same time.

Delia Steinberg Guzman, international Director of New Acropolis, says: “New Acropolis came into being to give a new opportunity to philosophy to come to life again; philosophy in the sense of the eternal quest for knowledge, a quest for the root causes of things, a search for answers to those questions which we human beings are constantly asking ourselves.”
