11. WELLBERY, E. David (ed.), A New History of German Literature, Harvard University Press, Massachusetts, 2004 Abstract:
12. The very word “reason” has a significant place in the history of human mind. However, the dominant powers of the varying systems of social order have monopolized reason by imposing ethnic, religious and feudal allegiances on the individual throughout history. It was the Age of Enlightenment that people started to question those social etiquettes by thinking independently.
13. This article entitled “Reflections of the Individual, Free Will and Independent Thought Conceptions in Lessing’s Plays” investigates these conceptions in the light of the analyses of the German dramatist’s works “Minna von Barnhelm” and “Nathan the Wise”, taking Kant’s opinions regarding free will, pure and practical reason as a starting point. This article intends to show how an individual can act freely as a consequence regardless of any kind of social limitations.
