Focus and Scope
The Trumpeter is an environmental journal dedicated to the development of an ecosophy, or wisdom, born of ecological understanding and insight. As such, it serves the deep ecology movement’s commitment to philosophically explore and analyze environmental concerns in light of ecological developments at every relevant level: metaphysics, science, history, politics. Gaining a deeper understanding involves a comprehensive set of criteria that includes analytical rigour, spiritual insight, ethical integrity, and aesthetic appreciation.
With respect to scholarly articles, The Trumpeter encourages high-quality academic submissions for peer review within the scope of the environmental humanities, including environmental philosophy, environmental ethics, and interdisciplinary environmental studies. The editors especially encourage submissions concerning or characterised by deep ecology, eco-phenomenology, eco-psychology, ecofeminism, primitivism, or other forms of ‘radical’ environmental theory.
In addition to scholarly articles, The Trumpeter also publishes poetry, narratives, cartoons, and book reviews.
