Event Description: As an individual strives to elevate towards ‘arête’ which in ancient Greek thought means ‘excellence’, he or she naturally develops deep sensitivity towards other humans and nature. This empathy naturally awakens a deeper need to practically work for the betterment of all. Our city ‘Pune’ sometimes referred to as ‘Punya Nagari’ I.e. ‘City of virtues’ is filled with exemplary individuals and institutions who constantly strive for excellence and the cultural upliftment of all people. While the expressions may be varied, it is philosophy, i.e. love for ideals such as goodness, beauty, truth and justice that unites all of them. Join us this World Philosophy Day as New Acropolis Pune invites leading personnel from different Institutions, who are relentlessly working towards building human values for a panel discussion on how Philosophy can help bring unity through diversity.Our Panelists:
