Wie werden wir in Zukunft lieben, Eva Illouz? | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur

Unverbindlichkeit in der Liebe ist hoch im Kurs. Doch die neue Freiheit hat ihren Preis, sagt die weltbekannte Soziologin Eva Illouz: Die romantische Liebe ist gefährdet wie nie zuvor. Wie sieht denn die Liebe in Zukunft aus? Werden wir vielleicht sogar Roboter lieben?

Mit ihrem Buch «Warum Liebe weh tut» landete die israelische Soziologin Eva Illouz 2012 einen Bestseller. Sie erwies sich darin als eine Dolmetscherin moderner Liebesverhältnisse und zeigte, woran die Liebe in Zeiten des Kapitalismus krankt. Zu diesen Krankheiten gehört, dass wir uns vor lauter Angst, einen potenziell besseren Partner zu übersehen, gar nicht mehr binden.

In ihrem neuen Buch «Warum Liebe endet» untersucht die Soziologin, wie Liebesverhältnisse misslingen und warum es zu einer neuen «Kultur der Lieblosigkeit» kommt. Mit Eva Illouz spricht Barbara Bleisch.

Liebe lässt sich nicht erzwingen.

” Love in action”

Fürs schöne Bild bedanke ich mich bei selmandannie2 auf Pinterest.

« Sucede que el amor se hace amor cuando menos lo esperas y a veces de las formas en las que siempre dijiste que no. »

“It happens that love becomes love when you least expect it and sometimes in the ways that always you said no.”

« Il arrive que l'amour devienne amour quand on s'y attend le moins et parfois de la manière qui a toujours tu as dit non. »

„Es passiert, dass Liebe zu Liebe wird wenn Du es am wenigsten erwartet hast und manchmalso wie immer Du sagtest Nein.“

Love — What Does Science Know about It? | DW Documentary

What is love? Love is more than a feeling: it is a driving force that can influence both brain and body. Recent scientific studies show how much love can really change people's lives.

Love is not only a topic in art, but also in science. Few other emotions can trump human reason like love. Love is an instinct like eating and drinking - primitive but vital. It is not romance but above all biology that brings two people together: we can identify the right partner for us by their scent, just as animals do. Recent research shows that the sense of smell, especially in women, has a significant influence on the choice of partner. Love can make wounds heal faster, lower your pulse rate and blood pressure and reduce anxiety and stress. But it can also make you sick and even kill you: "Broken Heart Syndrome” can be as dangerous as a heart attack. Love isn’t just about sex, but sex nurtures love between two people. Every touch causes the brain to release oxytocin, a hormone that triggers feelings of care and affection. And the love hormone isn’t just behind the passion of the newly smitten, but also behind the bond between parents and children and the affection for a pet. In fact, it makes social coexistence possible in the first place - for humans as well as for rats or ants. Love is above all a matter of biochemistry and scientists may one day even create a love pill in the laboratory. This science documentary shows in an entertaining way what love is, what it does to people - and how it stays alive.

Alain de Botton: How Does Love Survive in Everyday Life? | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur


Sich verlieben geht ganz einfach. Die Liebe durch den Alltag retten, ist schon schwieriger. Der Starphilosoph Alain de Botton erklärt im Gespräch mit Barbara Bleisch, warum alte Liebe nicht unbedingt rosten muss und weshalb die Philosophie ein gutes Rostschutzmittel ist.

Zwar bekommen sich nicht immer die Richtigen, und zuweilen braucht es mehrere Anläufe. Aber früher oder später landen die meisten in der «Zweierkiste». Doch was, wenn die sprichwörtlichen Schmetterlinge im Bauch davonfliegen und der nüchterne Alltag einzieht? Was, wenn Kinder und Karriere an den Nerven zehren und die Liebe auf der Strecke bleibt?

Darüber, wie es mit der Liebe weitergeht, wenn die erste Verliebtheit vorbei ist, wissen die Menschen erstaunlich wenig, sagt der Bestsellerautor Alain de Botton. Kein Wunder: Grimms Märchen und Hollywoods Traumfabrik beenden ihre Liebesgeschichten immer dann, wenn sich die Liebenden gefunden haben. Doch wie retten Dornröschen, Aschenputtel sowie Harry und Sally ihre Liebe über die Zeit?

Alain de Botton hat über diese Frage einen philosophischen Roman geschrieben - und kommt zu überraschenden Schlüssen: Partner sollten einander nicht annehmen, wie sie sind; Monogamie ist eine Tragödie, aber man kann mit ihr leben; wenn Paare streiten, sind sie selten wütend, sondern bedürftig.

Barbara Bleisch begibt sich mit Alain de Botton in die philosophische Paartherapie.

Handsome Muslim Men Accused of Waging 'Love Jihad' in India

THE TELEGRAPH: Muslim fundamentalists in India have been accused of waging a "love jihad", using charming young men to lure girls into converting to Islam with promises of marriage.

Christian and Hindu groups, which have themselves clashed over the sensitive issue of religious conversions, have joined forces to combat the alleged campaign.

A Hindu helpline in southern India claims it has received more than 1,500 calls from parents who fear their daughters are being lured by the group into converting to Islam.

The high court in Kerala directed India's interior ministry and police to investigate the phenomenon.

So far, little is known about the group behind the "love jihad", but it is alleged to be linked to a fundamentalist Muslim group called the Popular Front of India and its student wing Campus Front - which they deny.

It emerged after two young Muslim men were arrested for luring two post-graduate students into marriage by "feigning love" to convert them to Islam. >>> Dean Nelson in New Delhi | Tuesday, October 13, 2009
