Publisher's Synopsis
""The Philosophy of Civilization"" is a two-part book by Albert Schweitzer that discusses the nature of civilization and its relationship with ethics. In the first part, Schweitzer examines the concept of civilization and its decay, arguing that modern society has lost touch with its spiritual and ethical foundations. He explores the causes of this decay, including the rise of materialism and the decline of traditional values, and offers a critique of modern civilization. In the second part, Schweitzer discusses the role of ethics in civilization, arguing that ethical principles are essential for the survival and flourishing of society. He explores the relationship between ethics and religion, and argues that ethical principles should guide our actions in all areas of life. Throughout the book, Schweitzer draws on his background as a theologian, philosopher, and musician to offer a unique perspective on the nature of civilization and the importance of ethics in our lives. Overall, ""The Philosophy of Civilization"" is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of some of the most important questions facing humanity today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
