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 re-
pression, fear and violence.
