the Potential of Lessing's Theoretical Ideas in Dynamics Cultural Creation

This publication is part of the author's concept, which aims to reveal the predictive nature of Lessing's theoretical ideas in the field of drama and theatrical creation for the further development of art theory and artistic practice. The first section examines the scholar's views on the relationship between historical and artistic truth in dramaturgy, and traces the theoretical projections of this aspect in aesthetic and art-historical thought of the 19th-21st centuries. The second section is devoted to an analysis of Lessing's views on the significance of folk characters for the development of German theater; the corresponding views of Jean-Paul and K. Rosenkranz are analyzed, which contributed significantly to the conceptualization of the problem. The third section is based on a comparison of studies devoted to the interpretation of the scholar's theory of signs. The author examines the semantic aspect of Herder's, Ingarden's, and Basin's treatise "Laocoön," identifying a point of contention regarding its interpretation in 20th-century research. The fourth section examines Lessing's definition of the difference between the signs used by the spatial and temporal arts, as well as their unification in a spatiotemporal continuum.
