The following is a revised version of a text which appeared in the first issue of the biannual journal Zilsel in 2018. It describes the aims of the then new journal and explains how the intentions of the editors refer to the work and life of Edgar Zilsel. Zilsel's scientific strategy of theorizing the historical developments of modern science continues to inspire our approach in the ever-expanding field of social studies of science and technology.
