Philosophy of mind

Archbishop Ieronymos of Athens sent a message for Greek Orthodox Easter to the country's clergy on Tuesday.

"We remain shocked by the tragedy at Tempe. A painful reflection of the many griefs we all carry with us, it has accompanied this year's path to Easter. It has sealed our conscience. It has led many to ponder the big questions," he said.

A frenzy of self-flagellation by those trying to understand Greece's weaknesses and the torrent of rage and accusations against those responsible (in fact as well as in our minds) form the two poles of the public discussion that has followed the tragedy at Tempe.

Their frequent appearances and presence in the media cannot be explained otherwise.

It is a fact that we are living profoundly according to our values and codes that our societies are built upon, and most of us are building our own truth. However, one may ask, where the truth ends, the post-truth begins or vice versa and how we are influenced by it.

Theologists are reportedly proposing that the study of religion in schools should be divided between chapters that seek to develop students' Orthodox Christian conscience and ones that seek to educate them on religion.
