Life

She works at the International Center for Ethics in Science (IZEW) at the University of Tübingen . “Regina Ammicht Quinn was twice at the top of appointment lists for a theological chair. In 2000 in Augsburg and three years later in Saarbrücken. Each time the responsible bishops refused to give her the ' Nihil obstat ' (nothing against it). ”From February 24, 2010 to May 2011, she was a member of the state government of Baden-Württemberg in the Mappus cabinet as State Councilor for intercultural and interreligious dialogue and social value development . She is also co-editor of the international theological journal Concilium . In 2018, she was appointed to the steering committee of the “Learning Systems” platform as the person responsible for “Law and Ethics”.

Your scientific subject is theological ethics. In it, she does not argue from superordinate moral systems, but starts from people in their concrete life situations, from their relationships, needs and sufferings. She locates human dignity in human vulnerability. For her, “body”, “gender” and “sexuality” are not simple facts, but rather culturally shaped concepts that are subject to historical changes. Accordingly, she calls for a reassessment of homosexuality and a change in a bipolar view of the sexes.

On March 8, 2015, she was awarded the Herbert Haag Prize .
