Albert Schweitzer

Albert Schweitzer was a German philosopher, theologian, and physician known for his concept of "Reverence for Life," which underscores the intrinsic value of all living beings. Within existential philosophy, he emphasizes the importance of individual choice and responsibility in moral life. Schweitzer's view suggests that humans must recognize their profound interconnectedness with others, leading to ethical action as a response to suffering. His life embodied this philosophy through his medical work in Africa and advocacy for peace, demonstrating that true meaning in life arises from compassion and commitment to the well-being of all living things.
