This volume presents Lessing’s Hamburg Dramaturgy from a comparative and praxeological perspective. The contributions are based on the thesis that Lessing was not striving for a theory or aesthetics of drama, but for a processual reflection on drama in which the individual dramas serve as examples of specific problems of poetics such as compassion, poetic truth or historic probability.
