Indian Thought and Its Development
For For readers who want Schweitzer's reading of Hindu and Buddhist thought through his own ethical question; specialists will find it dated.
A survey of Indian thought published by C. H. Beck in Munich in 1935 and in English, translated by Mrs Charles E. B. Russell, as Indian Thought and Its Development. It extends the question of his philosophy of civilization to India: Schweitzer reads the Upanishads, the Buddha, the Bhagavad Gita and later Indian thinkers through the contrast between world-negation and world-affirmation, and between mysticism and ethics, and follows how Indian thought moved towards an active ethic. It is the work of a philosopher reading translations rather than of an Indologist.
