Work
Apostel was an advocate of interdisciplinary research and the bridging of the gap between exact science and humanities.
In some of his so-called "natural philosophy" he worked in his beliefs as freemason. He wrote two books about it: Freemasonry: A Philosophical Essay in 1985, and Atheïstische spiritualiteit in 1998.
His ideas about atheistic religiosity are widely acknowledged.

“Our kids will develop a work ethic only if we require them to pay a portion of the cost of some of the things they want. They’ll learn to defer gratification the moment we stop routinely pulling out our wallets. And they’ll learn self-discipline only if we care enough to enforce reasonable limits.”
—Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
“Your work is to keep cranking the flywheel that turns the gears that spin the belt in the engine of belief that keeps you and your desk in midair.”
