Everything has been said about humanity and Earth on the brink. What is lacking is decisive and consistent action. The life ethics of Albert Schweitzer offers a magnificent orientation for this. It places the dignity and vulnerability of life itself at the center. It is the first and only planetary ethic that transcends all cultures and societies. It thrives on unconditional, radical love for being.

The book presents the ethics and life of the great teacher of humanity, Albert Schweitzer, in a compact and competent manner, who lived everything he preached and thus provided us with an example. In a second step, it brings the "reverence for life" into the present and shows us perhaps the only path to salvation. Convincing, admonishing, encouraging, and fascinating all at once. A true pleasure to read!.
