There is worldwide agreement that humanity needs an ecology which protects the balance of relationships of life in nature. Ecology, in fact, is the scholarly discipline and practice of investigating what is needed for the „common house“ (oikos) in which humanity and all creatures have their place and space for living. In addition, however, it seems a vital necessity, too, to investigate which kind of care for the relationships we need as human beings among us - starting from the micro-relationships face to face and in families to meso-relationships of groups and local communities to macro-relationships in and between societies and states. For sustainable peaceful living, it takes realism to take seriously the omnipresence of conflicts, the need for dealing with conflicts in a detoxing way and to take commitments for sustainable paths of reconciliation at all levels of social living. This would be part of a new care ecology.
