In 1913, Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) left his internationally
renowned career as a theologian, philosopher, and organ player to
open a hospital in the jungles of Africa. There he developed in
theory and practice his ethics of reverence for life. When he
published his most important philosophical work, The Philosophy of
Civilization, few people were serious about treating animals with
dignity and giving any consideration to environmental issues.
Schweitzer's urge was heard but not fully appreciated. One hundred
years later, we are in a better position to do it. Predrag
Cicovacki's book is a call to restore Schweitzer's vision. After
critically and systematically discussing the most important aspects
of the ethics of reverence for life, Cicovacki argues that the
restoration of Schweitzer does not mean the restoration of any
particular doctrine. It means summoning enough courage to reverse
the deadly course of our civilization. And it also means
establishing a way of life that stimulates striving toward what is
the best and highest in human beings.
