International Organization and a School of Philosophy in the Classical Tradition New Acropolis was founded in 1957 by Jorge Angel Livraga, a historian and philosopher. Today it has centers in over 50 countries worldwide.

Since 1991, following the death of the founder of New Acropolis, the President of the International Organization has been Delia Steinberg Guzmán. In 2005, Beatriz Diez Canseco was appointed Deputy International President.

Interview Delia Steinberg Guzman :

" New Acropolis came into being in order to give philosophy a new lease of life – understanding philosophy as the eternal quest for the root of things, for the reason why, those questions which we human beings are constantly asking ourselves and trying to answer. That is why philosophy and love of knowledge are at the heart of New Acropolis. It is also a way of looking for the heart of human beings. And in this way, each one of us and all of us together can find this wisdom which we are so much in need of and for which New Acropolis came into being.

Philosophy has never been about purely theoretical knowledge; it has always reflected the different facets of life.
Since the earliest times, history has kept memories of the Schools of Philosophy in its records.
New Acropolis is an attempt to apply the knowledge and values of the ancient Schools of Philosophy, which continue to be relevant for the lives of human beings today.

Interview Delia Steinberg Guzman :

" That is why we talk about a school of philosophy in the classical tradition. This doesn’t mean that we want to set up schools like the ones that existed in Egypt or Greece, or Rome, or in any of the other civilizations of the world; it means to use the classical concept of philosophy as a way of life, a way that can enable us to develop ourselves and to achieve the best of ourselves. This is why we call it a School of Philosophy "
