Living Philosophy

Welcome to Acropolis Boston! Here, we invite you to explore and integrate timeless wisdom into everyday life. We believe philosophy is more than an academic subject—it's a practical guide to living well. Through our courses, workshops, and volunteer activities, we make philosophy accessible, helping individuals unlock their full potential.

As a local initiative of New Acropolis, an international organization focused on Philosophy, Culture, and Volunteering, we aim to bridge the gap between theory and practice. Guided by our core value of unity through diversity, we are committed to bringing people from various backgrounds together through the practical application of philosophy.

If you're passionate about understanding the world and using philosophical wisdom to drive positive change, join us. Whether you're new to philosophy or a seasoned thinker, we welcome you to explore, learn, and contribute to our journey of personal and collective development.

Ideas for Idealists

Ideas for Idealists

What is it that makes us essentially human? What does the human being have that can never be replicated by AI, or anything else that doesn’t have the imprint of human inspiration, imagination or intuition? In a word: Soul. Only the human being has the capacity to imagine a world better than the one in which we currently live. Only the human being has the capacity to intuit being a part of something greater than ourselves, but can also assert that a single individual can make a real difference in the world and inspire others to do the same. If you dare to embrace your authentic self and dare to dream of the possibilities of the human spirit, this course is for you.

Symbolism of Oz event

Symbolism of Oz

Price: Suggested: $5.00 online, $10.00 at the door

I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore…

Enter the Land of Oz and step into the unknown that comes from a deep place that lives in the world of our imagination and intuition. The land of Oz has been a source of magic and wonder for generations. The beloved book series, written by L. Frank Baum, has inspired countless readers to dream big and believe in the impossible. The various characters from Dorothy to the Wicked Witch and the supporting characters as the Tin Man, the Lion, the Scarecrow all represent various aspects of ourselves and the tests we encounter along life’s journey (the yellow brick road). Join us as we discover the symbols embedded in one of America’s most famous myths of the 20th century!

World Philosophy Day event

World Philosophy Day 2025

Why does Stoicism resonate so strongly with us today? Maybe it was their steadfastness in the face of great difficulties. Or maybe it was their simple and direct application of wisdom to the practicalities of daily life. Or, just maybe, it was how they epitomized virtue in a world that was disintegrating all around them under the strain of corrupted attitudes and moral ambiguity.

Come celebrate World Philosophy Day with us as we explore Stoic virtues and values that can reconnect us to our common humanity.

We will profile the lives and wisdom of three of the most inspiring Stoics in a workshop format that includes writing and sharing our ideas on each philosopher and how they may be applied directly to our own lives.

Our eclectic approach to the philosophical quest serves as a way to discover our unity through diversity as we seek the underlying truths that connect us all. Don’t miss this opportunity to dive deeper into the meaning & wisdom of Stoicism with us!
