Autorenporträt
Gotthold Ephraim Lessing was a German philosopher, dramatist, publicist, and art critic whose work shaped the course of German literature during the Enlightenment. Born on January 22, 1729, in Kamenz, Germany, he was the son of Johann Gottfried Lessing and Justine Salome Feller. From an early age, he displayed a keen interest in learning, which eventually led him to study theology and medicine before fully turning to literature and philosophy. Lessing s writings, both creative and theoretical, pushed forward ideas of religious tolerance, intellectual freedom, and the importance of critical inquiry. Among his most influential works are his plays and essays, which challenged rigid dogmas and encouraged open-minded discourse. His admiration for figures like Aristotle, William Shakespeare, Johann Joachim Winckelmann, and Voltaire shaped his intellectual development. Lessing s career spanned roles as a playwright, critic, and philosopher, making him a central figure in the German Enlightenment. He had siblings, including Karl Gotthelf Lessing and Dorothea Salome Lessing, with whom he maintained connections throughout his life. Lessing died on February 15, 1781, in Lower Saxony, Germany, leaving behind a legacy of bold thinking and transformative contributions to art, literature, and philosophy.
