is currently a well mediocre movie about Albert Schweitzer Hospital in Lambaréné and his jungle started in the cinema; appear only three biographies about him. What he has failed so magnificently with the climate conference to do in Copenhagen?
One should remember his ideas: a small book of the Union Verlag Berlin 1974 (7th edition) is before me: Albert Schweitzer, "The teaching of reverence for life". This book was based on a proposal by Gerald Goetting during his visit in August 1961 in Lambaréné.
a lecture at the French Academy of Sciences on 20 October 1952 begins:.
"That which we call after a Greek word borrowed ethics and after the Latin taken morality is, in general, in the right human behavior is not limited to our but also of the other well, like the human society has to deal with us "
From the blurb:
." I am life that wants to live in the midst of life that wants to live "This thesis penetrates to Schweitzer. the idea before, in which world and life affirmation and ethics combine with each other. The term "reverence for life", in thought justified, is the cornerstone on which to rest any culture. Only the ethics of reverence for life is complete because it has to do not only with the behavior of man to his fellow man, but expands the circle of solidarity to all creatures. in this commandment of love attitude is a tremendous responsibility . The people of the world "
was from this responsibility feel probably nothing in Copenhagen, but what one should expect from politicians who are guided by interests of all times if they had this little booklet in the pocket and had from time to time? their action and decision-based instruction from it, it would have happened otherwise.
