For two and a half centuries a small confession by Gotthold Ephraim Lessing has sat quietly at the edge of Western thought. He looked across the gap between the accidents of history and the necessities of reason, and admitted he could not leap it, however earnestly he tried. He called it a broad, ugly ditch, and he asked for help crossing it. No one came. This book takes the ditch seriously and then does something Lessing did not dare. It refuses the two easy answers our age keeps offering —that the far bank is solid and knowable, or that nothing is real and everything is permitted.
