Abstract

Text představuje antropologickĂŠ a kulturnĂ­ argumenty, kterĂŠ mohou v českĂŠm prostředĂ­ nově otevřít odbornou diskuzi o vztahu nĂĄboĹženstvĂ­ a vzdělĂĄvĂĄnĂ­. ČlĂĄnek nejprve pojmenovĂĄvĂĄ potenciĂĄl vztahu nĂĄboĹženstvĂ­ a vzdělĂĄvĂĄnĂ­, a to na příkladu KomenskĂŠho teze o „jednom nezbytnĂŠm“ a s pomocĂ­ souhrnu několika obecně uznĂĄvanĂ˝ch argumentĹŻ ze zahraničnĂ­ literatury, dĂĄle vymezuje pojem spirituĂĄlnĂ­ kompetence a doplňuje jej příklady ze zahraničí. SpirituĂĄlnĂ­ kompetence je chĂĄpĂĄna jako vzdělĂĄvĂĄnĂ­ směrem k vědomĂ­ „jednoho podstatnĂŠho“. V tomto smyslu je předloĹženĂ˝ text pokusem znovuoĹživit v českĂŠm prostředĂ­ jedno z klíčovĂ˝ch vĂ˝chodisek KomenskĂŠho myĹĄlenĂ­ a inspirovat k hledĂĄnĂ­ moĹžnĂ˝ch cest pro jeho aktualizaci.

  • 11 2021 particular idea coming from his many important references, namely the close interconnectedness of religion and education in the country to which Comenius had a relationship all his life, but which distanced itself from the connection between religion and education?2 Is it justifiable to consider religious education as an integral part of general education?

Summary

Comenius’s One Thing Necessary

By reading Comenius’s book One Thing Necessary, we find two things. On the one hand, the author reflects the fact that religion – in the historical circumstances of his life in particular – ‘has become a labyrinth, more confusing than anything else in the world’.28 On the other hand, he is critical to the tendencies which are suspicious and say ‘that none is real, and everything is fabled’.29 He writes of Christianity: ‘One part of Christians, believes and boasts about the fact that they are outside the labyrinth. Why would God put such ingrained desires into the human heart if he had never wanted to fulfil them?’34 ‘Why would that not be easy for our God to give man – his creation (who was created direct and simple, but who, through endless questions, becomes entangled in labyrinths of errors from which there is no escape, Ecclesiastes 7:29) a powerful stimulus and a way to return to the original straightforwardness and simplicity?’35 Comenius devotes a substantial part of his book to the process of finding answers to these questions and proposing specific steps He touches on the issue of limits, which are set in human life by the systems. Is it possible to understand Comenius’s legacy without knowing this dictionary? More generally and more broadly, is it possible to name some important facts of life without knowing the dictionary of religion?
