Críticas:

"Readers will discover a new appreciation for Schweitzer in each of the domains he helped pioneer, and his timeless and, indeed, prescient thought will resonate across multiple ethical, theological, and political domains. This volume has the potential to become a landmark in the study of Schweitzer." -David K. Goodin, associate researcher at the McGill Centre for Research on Religion, McGill University.

Reseña del editor:

In the 1940s and 1950s, Albert Schweitzer was one of the best-known figures on the world stage. Courted by monarchs, world statesmen, and distinguished figures from the literary, musical, and scientific fields, Schweitzer was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1952, cementing his place as one of the great intellectual leaders of his time. Schweitzer is less well known now but nonetheless a man of perennial fascination, and this volume seeks to bring his achievements across a variety of areas philosophy, theology, and medicine into sharper focus. To that end, international scholars from diverse disciplines offer a wide-ranging examination of Schweitzer s life and thought over the course of forty years.
