Albert Scweitzer
Our unit on Albert Schweitzer has contained four parts. The first was the five dimensions of ethical decision-making, which is an informal view. The second was his “extensive gamet of six notes”, which correlates to the five dimensions but is more of a more formal view.

All of these events had an influence on his teachings and inspired him to write his books. Schweitzer’s thoughts on civilization were based on the ideals for the improvement of social and political conditions of peoples. He said that civilization was progress made by mankind and the individual man in all situations from all points of view, in order to work towards the spiritual perfecting of individuals. The second part of our unit on Schweitzer was his “extensive gamut of 6 notes”. They are spilt into the first and the second triad.
