Translated by C. T. (Charles Thomas) Campion
The Decay and the Restoration of Civilization: The Philosophy of Civilization, Part 1, written by Albert Schweitzer in 1923, is a philosophical treatise that critiques the ethical foundations of modern society. Schweitzer argues that civilization is in crisis due to an overemphasis on material and technical progress at the expense of ethical values. He posits that genuine civilization requires a revival of personal ethics and spirituality, asserting that without these, societal progress is meaningless. This work lays the groundwork for understanding the essential role of ethics in maintaining a healthy culture.
