New Acropolis Montreal participated once again this year in the 24 Hours of Science event. The theme this year being ‘The Light’, volunteers from New Acropolis presented an event entitled ‘What to choose: the comfort of illusion or the challenge of wisdom?’ In his myth of the cave, Plato uses light to illustrate the path that goes from the shadows of ignorance to the light of knowledge. The public attended a presentation on science as a quest for truth and noted the importance of philosophy to approach truth.
