James Carleton Paget untersucht unter Berücksichtigung der neueren Forschung zu Schweitzer dessen unterschiedliche Identitäten und die Problematik ihrer Integration. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht er die umstrittene Natur von Schweitzers Vermächtnis und seine anhaltende Relevanz in einer Welt, die sich stark von der unterscheidet, in der er berühmt wurde.
