Founding Principles of New Acropolis
The principles of New Acropolis are the pillars upon which the structure of the association is built all over the world.
1. To unite men and women of all races, creeds and social backgrounds around an ideal of universal fraternity. This means a union beyond differences, respect for different identities and traditions, combined with the understanding that we are all citizens of the world.
2. To awaken a global vision through the comparative study of Philosophies, Sciences, Religions and Arts. The practice of tolerance, fostered by a global education and culture, makes it possible to link together all fields of creativity and thought. Making connections in this way allows us to see beyond apparent contradictions and find them compatible and complementary. It brings new and different people, ideas and feelings into harmony, in a richer and more open social community.
3. To enable men and women to live as part of Nature and to express their true personalities by fully developing their individual potential. The human being is an integral part of nature but he is unaware of his own potential even though the possibilities for self-development are almost infinite.
