Zygon® focuses on the questions of meaning and values that challenge individual and social existence today. It brings together the best thinking of the day from the physical, biological, and social sciences with ideas from philosophy, theology, and religious studies. The journal's contributors seek to keep united what may often become disconnected: values with knowledge, goodness with truth, religion with science.

Zygon® recreates the excitement of the Socratic dialectic in its commitment to finding essential unity in the apparent diversity of human experience. "
Leon Golden, Director, Humanities Program, Florida State University.

" Zygon®, the Greek term for anything which joins two bodies, especially the yoking or harnessing of a team which must pull together effectively, is the symbol of this journal. Its aim is to reunite the split team, values and knowledge, where coordination is essential for a viable dynamics of human culture. "
