The Trumpeter is an environmental journal dedicated to the pursuit of understanding and wisdom as it attempts to aid in the development of an ecosophy, or wisdom, born of ecological understanding and insight. As such, it serves the deep ecology movement’s commitment to explore and analyze philosophically relevant environmental concerns in light of ecological developments at every relevant level: metaphysics, science, history, politics, etc. Depth in penetrating to a deeper understanding involves a comprehensive set of criteria that include analytical rigour, spiritual insight, ethical integrity, and aesthetic appreciation.
