Somr Miroslav, Pavlicikova Helena, Comenius’ Ethical Visions of the Improvement of Human Things [Wizje etyczne Comeniusa o doskonaleniu czlowieczenstwa]. Studia Edukacyjne nr 35, 2015, Poznan 2015, pp. 395-404. Adam Mickiewicz University Press. ISBN 978-83-232-2904-9. ISSN 12336688. DOI: 10.14746/se.2015.35.21 The paradox about the Reformation is that, rather than consolidating European Christendom, it contributed to deepening the rifts between Catholics and Protestants as well as Lutherans and Calvinists, bringing about religious and civil strife. Comenius got involved in the antagonistic circumstances through his political philosophy, aspiring to weeding out the causes of hatred and mutual disagreement. This abiding endeavour of his achieved prominence in Panorthosia (Universal Improvement), which renders his best vision of permanent reconciliation resting upon educational, religious and civil reforms. Comenius’ ethical pursuit of improving human matters is rooted in his philosophical thought regarding man as an individual whose purpose in this world is to be humane: wise, moral and pious.
