"EPTAPOLIS" INTERNATIONAL GREEN POLIS (CITY)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE ACADEMY OF NATIONS

The ACADEMY OF NATIONS will be housed in a magnificent peristyle marble edifice, similar to an ancient Doric temple, on the elevated ACROPOLIS of “EPTAPOLIS”.

Around the building will be raised pedestals, on which statues of humankind’s major benefactors will be erected.

The Academy of Nations will have the equivalent number of members as the member states of the United Nations.

The EPTAPOLIS PRYTANEION’s Council of Nine will select the most important personalities - of cultural and moral standing- from each UN member state, who will be given the title of Academician, with a four-year term and a specified program of activity.

In the new millennium, the Academy of Nations will comprise the most distinguished cultural community of the planet, with the aim of philosophical intervention in the political events of countries in the Western and Eastern world.

What do people of the new millennium expect from Philosophy? Two main things:

Firstly, that it meets life’s real needs, so that the essential result is the beneficial development of the applied sciences, and especially technology, which is advancing at such a rapid pace.

Secondly, that it ensures individuals the balance, which was violently torn from their souls by their living conditions and their participation in a modern, non-spiritual society, whose only aims are the acquisition of money.

Resolving these problems will result in the development of ETHICAL PHILOSOPHY, which has been absent for so many centuries from most sections of society.

As the guardian of “EPTAPOLIS” institutions, the Academy of Nations will undertake to establish and uphold new ideas, through the awakening of individuals’ philosophical spirit, to lay the foundations of a more humane life and to acquire the happiness that comes from moral gratification of the conscience.
