We publish research and theory that is inquiry-driven, rather than grounded in a single discipline.

We seek to promote rigorous academic inquiry that expresses a plurality of perspectives and disciplines, and which effectively excavates the underlying assumptions and paradigms informing them.

We value the role of the knower in the process of knowing. We consider the psychology and sociology of knowledge as central to the process of inquiry.

We actively seek submissions which demonstrate inquiry that connects and contextualizes in order to integrate different, even divergent perspectives in a coherent way.

We are committed to open access, and academic content being freely available.

JTS emphasizes the importance of meta-paradigmatic, transdisciplinary scholarship.

We view academic inquiry as an opportunity for and exploration of the roots and matrices of knowledge in self and society.

Articles we publish demonstrate understanding of biases, assumptions and aspirations, and the emotional investment that they bring to the process of inquiry.

We regard academic inquiry as an opportunity for personal and social transformation, as a spiritual practice, and as an opportunity to cultivate creativity.
