The proposed research project is part of the larger enterprise, "Ratio Religionis: Religious Philosophy and Philosophical Religion in the Early Empire", which analyzes the development towards philosophical religion and religious philosophy in the Platonist strand of different religious traditions (Jewish, Christian, "Pagan"). Following a phase of scepticism, Platonic philosophy found its source of truth not only in a fresh rereading of the writings of Plato, but also in a new interpretation of religious stories, rituals and artefacts. Interpreted philosophically through an approach that regarded traditional religious materials as images of the divine, this religious material became fruitful for addressing contemporary questions. Alongside Jewish (e.g. Philo) and "Pagan" (e.g. Plutarch) works, early Christian writings also participated in this development. The proposed project intends to situate the Gospel of John in this development. Its particular focus is Johannine aestheticism, that is, the theological and hermeneutical function of sense perceptions within the so-called "spiritual gospel" (Clement of Alexandria). Sense-perceptions figure prominently in the Fourth Gospel, most often in explicitly theological contexts. The central assumption of the proposed study is that it is in the story of Jesus as told in the Gospel of John the Word of God who became flesh (John 1:14)-viewed in the right way-that the otherwise unknowable God (John 1:18) becomes perceivable through the senses.

拟议的研究项目是更大的项目“宗教比率：早期帝国的宗教哲学和哲学宗教”的一部分，该项目分析了不同宗教传统(犹太教、基督教、“异教徒”)中的柏拉图派向哲学宗教和宗教哲学的发展。在怀疑论阶段之后，柏拉图哲学不仅在重新阅读柏拉图的著作中找到了真理的来源，而且在对宗教故事、仪式和人工制品的新解释中找到了真理的来源。通过一种将传统宗教材料视为神的图像的方法进行哲学解释，这些宗教材料在解决当代问题方面取得了丰硕成果。除了犹太人(如斐洛)和“异教徒”(如普鲁塔克)的著作，早期基督教著作也参与了这一发展。拟议的项目打算将约翰福音置于这一发展中。它的特别焦点是约翰宁唯美主义，也就是所谓的“精神福音”(亚历山大的克莱门特)中感官知觉的神学和解释学功能。感官感知在第四福音中占有重要地位，通常是在明确的神学背景下。拟议研究的中心假设是，在约翰福音中所讲述的耶稣的故事中，上帝的话成了肉身(约翰福音1：14)--以正确的方式看待--否则不可知的上帝(约翰福音1：18)变得可以通过感官感知。
