A conversation between Dr. Kostas Tampakis, Associate Researcher, the Institute of Historical Research at the National Hellenic Research Foundation, Athens, Greece and Rev. Doru Costache, Director of the Australian Institute for Orthodox Christian Studies (AIOCS). The discussion moved from Kostas’ career trajectory to his current research in contemporary Orthodox attitudes towards the sciences. It focused on the importance of historical awareness on the part of Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike in regard to the various Orthodox ways of tackling the sciences.
