The Life and Work of Albert Schweitzer with Predrag Cicovacki

In this conversation with James Ellis for the Hermitix Podcast, I discuss the extraordinary life and work of Albert Schweitzer—philosopher, theologian, musician, physician, and one of the twentieth century’s most compelling moral witnesses. We explore his ethics of reverence for life, his diagnosis of the spiritual decline of modern civilization, and his attempt to unite thought with action through his work at Lambaréné. While acknowledging the unresolved difficulties within his philosophy, the conversation considers Schweitzer’s enduring challenge to each of us: to resist indifference, cultivate respect for all life, and find our own place of meaningful service in the world.
