Abstract The article presents considerations about civilization written by Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965). Except that is here his curriculum vitae, philosophy and views about Indian religion and philosophy. The author claims that Schweitzer’s theory of civilization is rather “too idealistic”, because too much stresses ethical aspects of civilization and depreciates her material aspects.
