E. Lessing. By linking the education with the process of revelation occurred both in the individual and in the human race, this study interprets Lessing’s proposal as an educational process, which can be demonstrated by the strong influence that it exerted on the Germany process of educational reforms between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
