The first cultural events, in 2026, of New Acropolis Timisoara, were addressed to the public of the nearby city, Arad, and were inspired by the subject of “Applied philosophy for a better life”. The topic of the first lecture in this series (February 4th) focused on “Philosophical practices for the inner life”, an opportunity for the people in attendance to become more familiar with ancient philosophers like Socrates or Plato. We realized that by integrating their ideas into our day-to-day life we can bring them closer to our hearts.
