Against the background of medieval theories of the soul and taking into consideration the entanglement of Latin, Hebrew and Arabic traditions, the research project is going to investigate, how theological conceptualizations of a visio Dei provoke discussions about the imaginative faculty (imaginatio) and the state of mental images. Focussing on concepts of imagina-tive visions (i. e. revealed dreams, journeys of the soul, prophetic visions) it deals with the fundamental paradox, that the spiritual experience of a revelation always requires an indirect, extramental confirmation through artistic or literary modes of depiction. This tension has far reaching implications for aesthetic debates as well as concerning the epistemic status of figurative knowledge.

在中世纪灵魂理论的背景下，考虑到拉丁语、希伯来语和阿拉伯语传统的纠缠，本研究项目将调查，神学上对Visio Dei的概念化如何引发关于想象力(想象力)和精神意象状态的讨论。它聚焦于想象的幻象(即启示的梦、灵魂的旅程、预言的幻象)的概念，处理了根本的悖论，即启示的精神体验总是需要通过艺术或文学的描述方式进行间接的、外部的确认。这种张力对美学的争论以及对比喻知识的认识论地位都有着深远的影响。
