Book excerpt: Dr. Albert Schweitzer was one of the greatest humanitarians the world has ever known. This biography for young readers chronicles his long life and accomplished career. Generously illustrated with rare photographs, Albert Schweitzer: An Adventurer for Humanity takes readers through young Albert's early years in Germany. We learn of his love of music, and of the studies in theology and philosophy that informed his decision to devote the rest of his life to serving humanity. It was this decision that led to his renowned humanitarian work in Africa, including his building of a hospital at the river mission in Lambaréné. It was while traveling down the Ogowe River in Africa that Albert had a powerful insight that shone brightly throughout his later years: "Reverence for Life." This idea led him to become a champion of world peace and human and animal rights. Today hospitals throughout the world bear Albert Schweitzer's name in recognition of his immense contribution to humanity, and his work continues to inspire new generations. The life of Albert Schweitzer serves as an example not just of what one person can do, but of how all of us can contribute our own light to help make the world a better place. Author Dr. Harold E. Robles is well known for his international humanitarian work, including the creation of Health Promotion South Africa Trust (HPSA). He has worked with world leaders and human-rights activists from around the globe, including Desmond Tutu, U.S. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and the former leader of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev. In November 2016 President Barack Obama honored Dr. Robles and HPSA. Contains, index, photos, bibliography/further reading, and chronology.

Download or read book Albert Schweitzer written by George Seaver and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of one of the titans of our time, together with a full appreciation of his revolutionary thought and writings, is now revised to include new materials on the eighth decade of Dr. Schweitzer’s life and work at Lambaréné. The book tells two exciting stories: the outward events of Schweitzer’s life—his childhood in Alsace, his career in Strasbourg, his organ studies and recitals, his decision to become a medical missionary in Africa, and his long labors there; and a review of his great intellectual and spiritual contributions—his upsetting of Biblical criticism, his profound insights into Christ, St. Paul, Bach and Goethe, his philosophy of civilization and reverence for life. “Seaver’s book is without equal in opening to us simply and clearly a view of the life and mind of Schweitzer of Lambaréné, Africa, Europe and the World.”—Christian Century “Mark this down as a great biography of a man whom many regard as our greatest living contemporary.”—Living Church “Step by step Seaver leads the reader to look at life with Schweitzer, in order to understand his attitude toward Greek eudaemonism, Kant, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche, and finally the building up of his affirmation [Reverence for Life]...Those of us who seek to understand the meaning of Schweitzer’s life and thought and ‘realized fellowship with the living Christ’s must master this tiny book, so filled with spiritual reality.”—EDWARD H. HUME “Dr. Seaver’s excellent work should appeal not only to Schweitzer’s many admires, but to those anxious to find a way out of the baffling labyrinth of current world conditions.”—Christian Century “This swift yet fundamental survey of one whole trend in the intellectual life of man is a remarkable piece of work. It proves that Schweitzer is one of the great thinkers of our time.”—JOHN HAYNES HOLMES

Download or read book Schweitzer written by George N. Marshall and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was an accomplished organist and interpreter of Bach, a crusader for world peace, and a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. He made his philosophy of "reverence for life" an ethic for the world. The hospital he founded in LambarA(c)nA(c) (still in operation in present-day Gabon) is a model of what Europeans might have given to Africans throughout colonial history. But above all, Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965) was a talented and compassionate human being. This biography probes beyond the timeworn image of Schweitzer as "the old man in the pith helmet" to reveal the philosopher, scholar, husband, father, humanitarian, and liberal rebel in a conservative church.

Book excerpt: Collected here in a single volume are the most important philosophical writings of Albert Schweitzer, one of the greatest thinkers and humanitarians of our time. Carefully chosen from among his many written works, the selections in this anthology illuminate and amplify Dr. Schweitzer’s cardinal principle of belief—a reverence for life. Among the important and revealing works included are “Pilgrimage to Humanity,” which outlines his philosophy of culture, the early influences in his life, and his ideal of world peace; “The Light Within Us,” one of the twentieth century’s most significant and beautiful statements of one man’s faith in his fellow man; and “Reverence for Life,” which states, with great clarity and conviction, the essence of Schweitzer’s wisdom. Because of his legendary fame as a medical missionary, other equally important and outstanding aspects of Schweitzer’s life are not as well known. Readers of this book will realize that Albert Schweitzer was a truly creative thinker, whose concern with the problems of the human spirit and whose methods of expressing this concern have raised him to the stature of one of the world’s foremost philosophers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
