Albert Schweitzer's Reverence for Life (eBook, ePUB)

Ethical Idealism and Self-Realization

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this book, Mike W. Martin interprets Schweitzer's 'reverence for life' as an umbrella virtue, drawing together the specific virtues"authenticity, love, compassion, gratitude, justice and peace loving"in individual chapters. Martin's treatment of his subject is sympathetic yet critical, and for the first time clearly places Schweitzer's environmental ethics within the wider framework of his ethical theory.
