# Athens and Jerusalem (in Education) Page: https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615 Text version: https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615.md RSS feed: https://feeds.transistor.fm/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education Author: Kamran Namdar Episodes: 39 ## Resource In this podcast we explore the relationship between a scientifically rational and a spiritual approach to reality. That is the relationship of Athens and Jerusalem. Our currently prevalent Western worldview is supposed to be based on rationality. If production of weapons of mass destruction, degradation of the natural environment, and increasing deterioration of mental well-being are signs of rationality, the term is to be considered a dangerous one. In all these, one can detect lack of ethical and existential considerations which renders this worldview essentially an irrational one. On the other hand, various forms of religious dogmatism and fundamentalism lack true spirituality, as they fail to create both a personal experience of serenity and upliftment and a social practice of empathy, solidarity, and equality. Essentially, both scientific and religious dogmatism seem to fail due to their disregard for a true and holistic view of human nature. Neither traditional Athens nor historical Jerusalem, alone, have been able to help our deepest human potential flourish, which we consider the task of our modern school system. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615.md ## Episodes - [What's new in education?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/what-s-new-in-education) — 2026-07-17T09:47:05+00:00 - [Mathematics and Ethics](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/mathematics-and-ethics) — 2026-06-16T18:54:35+00:00 - [Philosophy as the motive of action?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/philosophy-as-the-motive-of-action) — 2026-05-24T11:01:10+00:00 - [Roe Fremstedal on Søren Kierkegaard](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/roe-fremstedal-on-s-ren-kierkegaard) — 2026-04-18T06:53:11+00:00 - [Hitlers philosophers](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/hitlers-philosophers) — 2026-03-12T17:35:47+00:00 - [AI and religion](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/ai-and-religion) — 2026-02-14T15:37:46+00:00 - [Prophets](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/prophets) — 2026-01-14T18:09:04+00:00 - [Revelation](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/revelation) — 2025-12-16T12:34:25+00:00 - [AI and Ethics](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/ai-and-ethics) — 2025-11-16T11:05:29+00:00 - [Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - Scientific writing on religion and nature](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/pierre-teilhard-de-chardin-scientific-writing-on-religion-and-nature) — 2025-10-12T11:46:24+00:00 - [Bridging Creation and the Big Bang with Brian Cranley](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/bridging-creation-and-the-big-bang-with-brian-cranley) — 2025-08-31T20:37:25+00:00 - [On different forms of argumentation](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/on-different-forms-of-argumentation) — 2025-08-12T15:41:56+00:00 - [Spirituality and action](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/spirituality-and-action) — 2025-07-14T07:01:50+00:00 - [AI](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/ai) — 2025-06-07T06:00:08+00:00 - [The universe within human being](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/the-universe-within-human-being) — 2025-06-05T12:53:34+00:00 - [Spinoza and human natur in school](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/spinoza-and-human-natur-in-school) — 2025-04-26T07:07:14+00:00 - [Praying](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/praying) — 2025-04-05T12:17:51+00:00 - [The Holy](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/the-holy) — 2025-03-05T05:20:32+00:00 - [Faith and everyday life](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/faith-and-everyday-life) — 2025-01-19T18:51:53+00:00 - [Leo Strauss on Athens and Jerusalem](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/leo-strauss-on-athens-and-jerusalem) — 2024-12-24T13:16:01+00:00 - [Meme and Archetype, comments on Dawkins and Peterson](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/meme-and-archetype-comments-on-dawkins-and-peterson) — 2024-11-24T10:13:34+00:00 - [Fides et ratio](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/fides-et-ratio) — 2024-10-27T11:20:28+00:00 - [Truth, a jam session](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/truth-a-jam-session) — 2024-09-30T19:15:51+00:00 - [Created or everlasting being?](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/created-or-everlasting-being) — 2024-09-01T08:13:37+00:00 - [The relationship between the Divine and Human being](https://stenobird.com/podcast/athens-and-jerusalem-in-education-6714615/the-relationship-between-the-divine-and-human-being) — 2024-07-15T18:31:36+00:00 ## Actions Episode pages expose an explicit `request_transcript` action.
