Education of the Human Kind - Enlightenment, Religion and Education

What is striking about Lessing's life is not just who and what she was, but who and what she truly was not. Despite the clear legacy he leaves behind in very different fields, Lessing is neither a philosopher and theologian nor a systematic thinker on the philosophy of art or the theory of drama. Lessing's work titled Die Erziehung des Menschengeschlechts (The Education of the Human Race, 1777/80) is an attempt to explain how the world received and still receives the revelation that prepares man to achieve the best that exists within him. It includes the idea of the education of the human race as a whole and the assumption of the mutual interdependence of all social phenomena, the concept of the unity of man with nature and the interrelationship of moral and political theory. Lessing, one of the leading figures of the Enlightenment, searches for the answer to this question in The Education of the Human Race, which was translated into Turkish approximately two hundred and fifty years later, and defines education as "opening the mind to things for which it is ready."
