On the problem of time in (the thought of) J. A. Comenius

Abstract

On the problem of time in (the thought of) J. A. Comenius. – Johann Amos Comenius was a complex thinker and as such he was also attempting to deal with the question of the problem of time. Comenius’s understanding of the problem of time is possible to comprehend (similarly to other parts of his work) in three perspectives. This paper attempts to briefly outline this trio of perspectives and grasp it within the horizon of the Comenius’s thought. Concurrently, this paper attempts to open another perspective for further development of the problem and its consideration, and outcomes for human beings. These perspectives might serve today’s human as an inspiration in the wandering through the labyrinth of plurality and vanity of nowadays’ world.
