Lessing's Education of the Human Race (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from Lessing's Education of the Human Race

Lessing's tractate, The Education of the Human Race, is an account of how the world received and is still receiving reve lation that is to prepare man for the attainment of the best that is in him. This involves the notion of a racial education and a conception of the inter-dependence of all social phenomena - the unity of man with nature and the correlation of moral and political theory. Ideas of this import had engaged the minds of thinkers from the time of Plato, but found more or less imperfect expression until the time of Kant and of Comte, the founder of sociology.
