Animals, Nature and Albert Schweitzer (Unabridged‪)‬

What does it mean to have reverence for all life?

Through Albert Schweitzer's own words, accompanied by Ann Cottrell Free's sensitive commentary, this concise work explores the development of Schweitzer's influential philosophy of "reverence for life" and its implications for our treatment of animals, nature, and one another.

From his childhood experiences with animals to his work as a physician, philosopher, musician, and humanitarian, Schweitzer sought to put his ethical convictions into practice. His relationships with individual animals and his concern for the natural world helped inspire generations of people interested in animal protection and environmental ethics.

Originally published in 1982 and subsequently issued in multiple printings, Animals, Nature and Albert Schweitzer offers an accessible introduction to Schweitzer's thinking for listeners interested in animals, ethics, philosophy, conservation, and humanity's relationship with the natural world.
