The New Rationalism: Albert Schweitzer's Philosophy of Reverence for Life

"In "The New Rationalism", David Goodin explores the underlying philosophy behind Schweitzer's ethic of compassion, presenting it as a response to contemporary questions in social justice, economic equality, and environmental action. For the first time, the political, sociological, and philosophical contexts supporting the development of Schweitzer's ethic are examined in order to bring his timeless message of elemental morality to new life for the modern world"-- Dust jacket.
