Albert Schweitzer, philosopher, physician, Nobel Peace Laureate,
theologian, and musician, developed a character-oriented ethics
focused on self-realization, nature-centered spirituality, and
moral idealism which anticipated the current renaissance of virtue
ethics. Schweitzer's idea of 'reverence for life' underscores the
contribution of moral ideals to self-realization, connects ethics
to spirituality without religious dogma, and outlines a pioneering
environmental ethics that bridges the gap between valuing life in
its unity and valuing individual organisms. In this book Mike W.
Martin interprets Schweitzer's 'reverence for life' as an umbrella
virtue, drawing together all the more specific virtues, in
particular: authenticity, love, compassion, gratitude, justice and
peace loving, each of which Martin discusses in an individual
chapter. 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.
