Author Paul Andersen, Author of Dr. Schweitzer at the Birth of the Aspen Idea

When Albert Schweitzer visited Aspen in 1949, he imbued the community with a moral ideal – “Reverence for Life.” Such was the guiding principle of a great human being who, despite his self-effacing nature, was dubbed “the living saint.”



Now, 75 years later, Schweitzer’s legacy from the Goethe Bicentennial Festival is being reaffirmed by a group of Aspenites who hope to reinvigorate the Schweitzer ethic and identify Aspen with the highest ideals.



This book describes the importance of Schweitzer to the world and his relevance to Aspen at a time when it seems most needed.
