In the work The Demonstration of the Spirit and of Power (1777) G. E. Lessing made the distinction between necessary truths of reason and historical (factual) truths. The latter include religious truths of revelation (as based on the Bible). He claimed in this way that the religious truth (which is the essence of religion) can not be identified with the historical truth. Thus established by Lessing the critique of revelation and of institutional religion was continued by S. Kierkegaard and F. Nietzsche among others and in the works of both thinkers explicit references to Lessing’s Demonstration can be found.

According to Leo Strauss, the great thinkers of the political philosophy from Plato, through al-Farabi and Maimonides, to Hobbes, Locke, and J.J. Rousseau distinguished between exoteric, or public, writing and esoteric, or private, writing. The last thinker who was well aware of that distinction and applied it to express his own thought was G.E. Lessing. In the article the author discusses Strauss’s thesis concerning esoteric writing and presents the reasons why Lessing might be regarded as the last esoteric thinker. Finally, the author attempts to interpret Lessing’s last writings, especially his play Nathan the Wise, in the light of Strauss’s thesis.
