Towards a New Culture – E-Book

by Dieter Duhm

The book for all young revolutionaries: powerful, true, direct and radical. A book for those who want to know how they can give continuity to the fleeting experiences of freedom and community life during their protests. With sacred rage about the existing conditions, the author describes the technological, ecological, spiritual and human conditions for a new start for society.

Beschreibung

Violence is the eruption of blocked life energies.

Pacifism does not mean the gentle appeasement of violence, nor does it mean brushing conflicts aside with appeals for peace. True pacifism is the radical and intelligent self-engagement of the human for the liberation of all life energies and creative forces that are present in him. Pacifism is militancy in achieving inner truthfulness and freedom, for pacifism is the reconciliation of the human with himself.
Dieter Duhm

How will life go on after the collapse of the globalised political and economic systems? How will it survive the large-scale disruption of our planet’s ecological and climatic systems? And what will become of the immense systems of belief, love and thinking as they start to shake within?

The answer to these questions has to persist in the face of so many failed attempts in the past. The world stands on the brink of an abyss. The youth from Cairo to London, from Greece to Chile, from Rothschild Avenue, Tel Aviv to Wall Street, New York are looking for new ways out of the crisis. If the mass protest and revolt movements rising up all over the world today intend to take off together, if life is to win over violence and war, we need a direction, an image, an idea of what might be our common goal.

This book offers an idea of how a future worth living could be. It was written and published more than thirty years ago in Germany and we believe that its time has now come. It is the first time to be published in English. We left it in the political context in which it was written. Through this we want to show that names change, yet the underlying problems remain the same – until we discover how to solve them. How this can be achieved is what this book is all about. It is more relevant today than ever.

Dieter Duhm, nacido en 1942 en Berlín, psicoanalista, historiador del arte y sociólogo fue una de las cabezas dirigentes de la izquierda marxista del movimiento estudiantil del 68 en Alemania. Dieter Duhm une el pensamiento de la revolución social al pensamiento de la liberación personal. El Dr. Duhm sale a la luz pública con el libro “El miedo en el Capitalismo”. Desde 1975 se distancia públicamente del dogmatismo de izquierdas y se alinea con una alternativa fundamentalmente humanista. En 1978 funda el proyecto “Bauhütte”, un experimento social con 40 participantes que tiene lugar en el sur de Alemania durante tres años.
Crea el “Plan de los Biotopos de Cura”, un plan concreto sobre como se podría producir la paz mundial. En 1995 funda, junto con su compañera Sabine Lichtenfels y otras personas, el centro Tamera de investigación de paz en Portugal, con el objetivo de ligar el trabajo de paz global a el desarrollo de nuevos modelos de vida y la creación de lugares en los que la gente viva en cooperación y mutuo apoyo con el resto de la creación y demas seres.
