Beschreibung
We are living in apocalyptic times. We see everywhere the miracles of technology, the glossy urban facades and the wealth of the elite, but we also see the oppressed and starving poor, the shocking degradation of nature and a mechanistic culture of war run rampant and out of control.
We have no more urgent need than that of a positive perspective for the future of life on Earth.
So far, our efforts to solve these problems have gone almost entirely towards creating new systems of energy and food production, urban housing, or matters of organization, communication and economy. Only a few visionaries have included human psychology in this research and worked to create holistic, coherent solutions for both humanity and the Earth. One of them is the psychoanalyst Dieter Duhm, leader of the so-called “emancipation debate” during the ‘68 Student Movement in Germany. He writes:
The human being is the cause of his own failure because he disregarded some essential aspects of his own inner world. The inner world consists of the driving powers of his soul, his libidinous longings, his sexuality and animality, his spiritual powers, his hopes and fears, his entire potential of unrecognized and untapped energies.
Forty years after his bestseller Angst im Kapitalismus (Fear in Capitalism), the author presents us with a deep and thoroughly thought out concept that explains a future of peace could be initiated in the world – for all nations, peoples and the natural world. It starts where wars emerge anew every day: in people’s day-to-day coexistence.
Terra Nova is the result of a unique and pioneering work, drawing from more than forty years of research into the construction of functioning communities:
In order to explore the inner structures of a humane form of existence, we needed again and again to review and change the ways in which we coexisted… If one wants to know how humankind functions, one should learn how a group functions, for a group contains all the light and shadow sides of our human existence within it.
The book shows how the peace movement can be organized globally and with what forces it can connect in order to be stronger than the forces of destruction. Yes, it is possible! We can end war on Earth if we truly want it and work for it with all our strength and intelligence.

“Duhm lays out a vision for both a transition to the post-capitalist world, and what it could look like. He does this in a non-prescriptive sense. […] He dives deep into the assemblage point of our collective fears and repressions, the real foundation for neoliberal capitalism.”

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.
