Via Lucis The Great Moravian bishop Causes Unholy Alliance
Hell, most of us have common ground on some things - why are we so loathe to admit it and work together when we can?
John Amos Comenius (Latin Name, in my home country known as Jan Amos Komensky) was born in 1592 in Nivnice, Moravia (now in the Czech Republic) and died on November 15, 1670. Komensky is the moral reference point for the idea of an universal education. A contemporary of Galileo, Descartes, Rembrandt, and Milton, Comenius contributed greatly to the Enlightenment. The father of modern education, a status earned by his years of hardship. Komensky came to develop a philosophy, pansophism, which stressed political unity, religious reconciliation, and educational cooperation. This philosophy of pansophism related education to everyday life and advocated systematizing all knowledge, teaching in the common language of students rather than in Latin, and establishing a universal system of education with opportunities that included women and peoples of all nations.
Throughout his life, John Amos Comenius worked for educational, scientific, and cultural cooperation, enlightenment and understanding. May his philosophies serve as the inspiration of educational alliances.
