%X The deep ecology movement, which began with Arne Naess¡¯ introduction of the term in 1972, is compared with other movements for social responsibility that developed in the 20th century. The paper discusses Naess¡¯ cross-cultural approach to characterizing grassrootsmovements via platform principles that can be supported from a diversity of cultures,worldviews, and personal philosophies, and explains his use of ¡°ecosophy.¡± The deep ecology movement¡¯s relationship with ecopsychology, ecocriticism, and humanistic and transpersonal psychology is described as part of an emerging synthesis referred to as transpersonal ecosophy.The inquiry concludes with a technical discussion of Naess¡¯ Apron Diagram and reflections on the future of the movement in light of widespread concerns about global warming and destruction of cultural and biological diversity.
