Core Texts & Literature

Above all, Apollonianism encourages the study of modern empirical sciences, including chemistry, physics, biology, and other natural sciences, but most especially astronomy and cosmology, for these seek answers to our most fundamental questions of the Cosmos. Anyone wishing to put to practice Apollonian ideals needs only to open a modern book on science and endeavor to learn.

However, we also recognize that science alone does not provide a sufficient intellectual framework through which we can achieve a complete understanding of ourselves and our relationship with the universe. For this reason, Apollonians study various philosophical spiritual system from ancient to modern times.
