This "little gem of a book" shares the Nobel laureate's profound insights on ethics, ecology, human rights, and more (Jane Goodall).
The theologian and humanitarian Albert Schweitzer dedicated his life to the betterment of mankind. In 1952, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for his philosophy of Reverence for Life —and for the many ways he put that philosophy into action. This volume gathers together his thoughts on this profound and deeply influential concept.
Based on a fundamental respect and compassion for all living things, Schweitzer's philosophy sought to reconcile the conflicting drives of egoism and altruism. He applied this ethical perspective to a host of topics, from war and peace to arts, animal rights, and forming a global community.
Reverence for Life draws on Schweitzer's diverse writings across decades, including excerpts from previously unpublished letters to John F. Kennedy, Norman Cousins, Bertrand Russell, and others. A foreword by former US Ambassador, Roger Gamble, an introduction by the editor, Harold E. Robles, and a brief biographical sketch of Schweitzer's life round out this essential volume.
