Why is 海角大神 Science in our name?
Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and we鈥檝e always been transparent about that.
The church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we鈥檝e aimed 鈥渢o injure no man, but to bless all mankind,鈥� as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.
Here, you鈥檒l find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences 鈥� a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.

Recently, the online magazine Medium ran a column (with some salty language) called It states, 鈥淭here are a lot of would-be conquerors around today eagerly exploiting our common reflex to blame others.鈥澛�
Then I read Taylor Luck鈥檚 story in today鈥檚 Daily about how an autocratic leader in Tunisia is maintaining power. The answer: by playing on the reflex to blame others.聽聽
I like to think of the Monitor as exploring deeper truths that go beyond who, what, when, where.聽Blame can work for a time, politically. But 鈥渆verything humans have comes directly from cooperation, not in-fighting,鈥� the Medium article argues. Tunisia is a test for that deeper truth.
