Reviews
winner of the 2011 prize of the Offermann-Hergarten-Stiftung : "Die Debatte um die Seligkeit im reflexiven Akt (ca. 1293-1320) die in diesem Zeitraum wichtige philosophisch-theologische Debatte über die Frage, ob der Mensch nach dem Tod allein durch die intuitive Schau Gottes vollkommene Seligkeit erlangen kann oder ob er sich dazu seiner eigenen Seligkeit reflexiv bewusst werden müsse. Jeschke rekonstruiert erstmals den ganzen Kontext der Debatte in seiner hohen Binnendifferenziertheit und erschließt zugleich editorisch zehn in diesem Zusammenhang wichtige Texte. Er wendet die Konstellationenforschung auf diesen Kontext erstmals an und leistet einen wichtigen und außerordentlich materialreichen Beitrag zu dieser Forschungsrichtung. Die Arbeit ermöglicht durch ihre klare Sprache, Begrifflichkeit und Struktur auch dem fachfremden Leser den Nachvollzug der Positionen und Argumentationen. Sie verbindet vorzüglich die philosophisch-systematische Analyse mit philosophie- und theologiehistorischer Kontextualisierung, Quellenedition mit inhaltlicher Analyse." from the citation of the prize committee.
