Philosophy in the classical manner means using the classical concept of philosophy as a lifestyle, a style that allows us to develop ourselves such as we are, and be able to get the best out of ourselves.
Delia Steinberg
Principles
To promote an ideal of universal fraternity, based on respect for human dignity, beyond racial, sexual, cultural, religious, social and other differences.
To encourage love for wisdom, which, through the comparative study of philosophies, religions, sciences and arts, promotes the knowledge of the universe, nature and the human being.
To develop the best of our human potential, by promoting our full realization as individuals and our integration in nature and society.

World Philosophy Day
Every year, the centers of New Acropolis around the world respond to the call of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to celebrate World Philosophy Day, which has been taking place every November since 2002.
The programs organized by the different countries that form part of New Acropolis International (OINA) have brought philosophy closer to many different kinds of audiences using a wide variety of media and an imaginative range of different events.
There are forums and discussions aimed at getting people to reflect on the close relationship that exists between philosophy and timeless values. Other centers choose to stage performances of the immortal episodes of history, by recreating dialogues and messages of outstanding philosophers.
Other events link philosophy with the arts, promoting exhibitions and photographic competitions to give form in images to the conceptual richness brought to us by the great sages of the world.
IONA displays on a website dedicated to World Philosophy Day some of the activities that take place every year throughout the world in commemoration of this date.
