The term “zygnomic” was coined by philosopher Albert Kocourek in 1927 and refers to actions that restrict someone’s freedom to enjoy a legal advantage. In simpler terms, it’s when someone prevents you from using something you’re legally entitled to use.
The term “zygnomic” (zig-noh-mik) is an adjective coined by philosopher Albert Kocourek in his book Jural Relations (1927) to describe an act that directly restricts the freedom of a person who has a legal advantage or duty. For example, a company’s policy of monitoring employees’ emails and internet usage is considered zygnomic because it limits the employees’ freedom and privacy, despite the company having a legal advantage to do so. This illustrates how a zygnomic act can infringe upon the freedom of a person who has a legal advantage, as in this case where the company’s monitoring of their employees’ communications limits their freedom and privacy.
