Dieter Duhm: Eros Unredeemed.
The World Power of Sexuality.
"There cannot
be peace on earth as long as there is war in love. I have written this
book because it was inevitable. The issue of sexual love had to be seen
and dealt with from a different perspective. It is the issue of our
time, although the proclaimed slogans may sound different. It is said
that the sexual revolution is a thing of the past, but from within, it
hasn’t really started yet. Today more people suffer or become ill as a
result of an unre-solved longing for sex and love than from
environmental pollution.” (Dieter Duhm)
In
a direct and committed language Dieter Duhm describes the state of love
in our culture today. He places the unsolved issues of jealousy, free
love, faithfulness, longing, impotence, morals etc. at the center of
the question of true non-violence and peace. From the experience of
free love he develops new perspectives for a new way of living,
where love between two people no longer excludes free love. He
describes the philosophical and social basis for a culture in which
jealousy is no longer a natural law, where sexual desires no longer
have to be suppressed and where faithfulness between two lovers no
longer breaks down because of a too narrow vision of love.
“Knowing love” is the term he uses for the process of developing a culture without sexual repression, fear and violence.
Testimonials
Dieter Duhm's book "Eros Unredeemed" is important for everyone to
read, because it is provocative. It shakes up the rigid way of thinking
most people have. It is a plan for a society and a way of life that
I’ve been longing for since I was 16. ‘High-Tech in War - Neanderthal
in Love’, such chapters are simply true. Lisa Fitz (Germany, cabaret singer)
"Eros Unredeemed" is so true that I cannot add anything to it. I am grateful for so much courage and I hope that these thoughts about sexual liberation can be realized. Ernest Bornemann (Germany, writer, psychoanalyst, sexologist)
Of
all the books about partnership that have been so popular in the last
few years none of them has dealt with the issues of sexuality, eros and
love as honestly and as thoughtfully as the book "Eros Unredeemed" by
Dieter Duhm. Robert Jungk (Austria, Journalist, Right Livelihood Award)
"Eros Unredeemed"
is a book by a visionary thinker who brilliantly formulates his vision
of liberated sexuality. A strong blow to a society that constantly
speaks about a sexual revolution, but that combats any attempt at
creating a truly liberated sexuality through censorship, the praise of
jealousy, and warnings about the danger of sex. Oswalt Kolle (Germany, author about human sexuality)
