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.
