GODNOŚĆ CZŁOWIEKA W UJĘCIU JANA AMOSA KOMEŃSKIEGO

Abstract

John Amos Comenius (1592-1670) expressed great respect and care towards every human being. No wonder that the first chapter of his Great Didac-tic comes under the title: “Man is the Highest the most absolute, and the most ex-cellent of things created”. His interpretation was based on conviction that man has specific qualities that allow him to pursue laudable goals, if he does not ne-glect his abilities. Human dignity is one of human qualities Comenius strove for throughout his life, taking down his reflections to paper.
