Description
The goal of this brief study is
to present Comenius’s notion of character
formation as it is outlined primarily in
his didactic writings, and to show its
relevance for contemporary practice in
relation to moral education. Jan Amos
Comenius was a Czech 17th century Brethren
bishop, philosopher and educator
who is celebrated especially for his timeless
didactic principles, which earned
him the epithet “the teacher of nations.”
The sub-goal of this paper is to explain
why Comenius’s concept of moral education
has been neglected in Czech modern
Comeniological research biased by communist
ideology. |
