Abstract

In light of countless problems, the modern world faces, especially religious fanaticism, violence, and hatred, it is high time to reflect on some of the older literary statements once again that had already voiced critical concerns about the principles of human interaction determined by good communication, love, and tolerance. Maybe surprisingly, when we turn to Lessing’s Nathan der Weise (1779), we come across a major literary document in which those ideals are formulated convincingly and dramatically. While German scholarship has already discussed this play for a long time, it deserves much wider attention because of its strong advocation of those ideals, which we are in the highest need as of today.

宽容和宽容作为人类的挑战:18世纪剧作家戈特霍尔德·以法莲·莱辛对21世纪的声音

鉴于现代世界面临的无数问题，尤其是宗教狂热、暴力和仇恨，现在是时候再次反思一些古老的文学陈述了，这些陈述已经表达了对人类互动原则的关键关注，这些原则是由良好的沟通、爱和宽容决定的。也许令人惊讶的是，当我们翻开莱辛的《内森·德·怀斯》(1779)时，我们发现了一份重要的文学文献，其中令人信服地、戏剧性地阐述了这些理想。虽然德国学术界对这部戏剧的讨论已经很长时间了，但它值得更广泛的关注，因为它强烈倡导了我们今天最需要的那些理想。

期刊介绍： “The fundamental idea for interdisciplinarity derives” as our Chief Editor Explains, “from an evolutionary necessity; namely the need to confront and interpret complex systems…An entity that is studied can no longer be analyzed in terms of an object of just single discipline, but as a contending hierarchy of components which could be studied under the rubric of multiple or variable branches of knowledge.” Following this, we encourage authors to engage themselves in interdisciplinary discussion of topics from the broad areas listed below and apply interdsiciplinary perspectives from other areas of the humanities and/or the sciences wherever applicable. We publish peer-reviewed original research papers and reviews in the interdisciplinary fields of humanities. A list, which is not exclusive, is given below for convenience. See Areas of discussion. We have firm conviction in Open Access philosophy and strongly support Open Access Initiatives. Rupkatha has signed on to the Budapest Open Access Initiative. In conformity with this, the principles of publications are primarily guided by the open nature of knowledge.
