IGNAZ BREGENZER (1844–1906):
PRELIMINARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE BIOGRAPHY
OF THE AUTHOR OF ANIMAL ETHICS (THIER-ETHIK, 1894)
The work of Fritz Jahr (1895–1953), the theologian and teacher from
Halle (Germany), was discovered relatively recently, suggesting that it had
been Jahr who formulated the term and the concept of bioethics (Bio-Ethik,
1927) as a discipline advocating the broadening of Kant’s categorical imperative
onto animals and plants (the so-called bioethical imperative). The
sources used by Jahr were numerous and heterogeneous, but some of them
seem to have been more important and, obviously, influenced Jahr’s ideas
much more. To that particular group, certainly Ignaz Bregenzer has to be
ascribed, a personality to which no attention has been devoted as yet.
First indirect probing of archivalia reveals that Ignaz Bregenzer was
born in 1844 and died in 1906 or 1907. A boarder of Catholic boarding
schools in Rottweil and Tübingen, Bregenzer later chose another life path
and studied the law. He first worked as a court junior clerk in Ehingen, and
than in Ulm. Later, he became a province judge in Hall, afterwards a counsellor
at Province Court in Tübingen (were he also married, in 1888), and,
finally, since 1903, Bregenzer retired and moved to Stuttgart. He authored
the comprehensive book Thier-Ethik: Darstellung der sittlichen und rechtlichen
Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Thier [Animal ethics: a presentation
of moral and legal relations between the man and the animal] (Bamberg,
1894), quoted also by Fritz Jahr, as well as the study “Thierisches
Sittlichkeits- und Rechtsgefühl” [“Animal sense of morality and justice”],
published in the journal Deutscher Thierfreund (vol. 5–6, 1901, p. 1–41).
