Resumen
Accidental truths of history can never become the proof of necessary truths of reason. The major “problem of Lessing” with revealed religion was that Christianity claimed to have been proven by miracles indipendent of Christianity itself. For Lessing the word of the Bible is less significant than its spirit. Truth is continuously in development and consequently incapable of a definitive formulation: it is best approached and expressed through images, parables, hypotheses; the most readly accessible form of truth is that of morality, which manifests itself in practice and is fully intellegible to natural and human reason. In the Parable of three Rings: “truth” presents itself, and is also recognizable, in the course of development of mankind, by means of new creative discoveries; it is in the position to gradually broaden its common treasure of knowledge.
