Since 2002, when UNESCO proclaimed the third Thursday of November as World Philosophy Day, New Acropolis has joined in on many occasions to spread the word about the importance of Philosophy as an essential element in the development of culture and consequently of human progress. One more year we celebrate World Philosophy Day with a forum that will bring together different activities, conferences, talks, presentations, etc. The theme we have chosen for this occasion is deeply linked to the practice of philosophy. It is THE LANGUAGE OF SYMBOLS. Symbols have accompanied human beings since their remote origins and provide a means of communication of profound realities, while at the same time implying a deeper understanding of the beauty and meaning that life and human experiences offer us. Symbolic thought is combined with rational thought, in a sort of harmony, which tries to penetrate the mysteries of life. Philosophers of all times have given special value to this marriage between myth and logos. Philosophy continues to be, perhaps today more than ever, a necessary exercise of reflection on our position in life and the world, a path of approach to human values and the vital meaning that guides our daily decisions, our way of being in the world, of relating to each other among human beings and to nature itself. Philosophy makes us profound, tremendously human and free. https://www.nueva-acropolis.com/foro-... ______________________________________________________________ New Acropolis is a philosophical organization present in more than 50 countries since 1957, and its objective is to develop the best of each human being, through #Philosophy, #Culture and Volunteering. #NewAcropolis ______________________________________________________________ Follow #NewAcropolis: Site: https://www.nueva-acropolis.es/ Instagram: /nuevaacropolisespana Facebook: /nuevaacropolisespana Philosophy course: https://www.nueva-acropolis.com/ Articles: https://filosofia.nueva-acropolis.es/
