A General Research of Comenius to Celebrate his 400th Birth

夸美纽斯(捷克名字Jan Amos Komensky)于1592年3月28日出生于摩拉维亚(现为捷克共和国的一个地区)。1992年，夸美纽斯诞辰400周年，许多国家和捷克斯洛伐克都在庆祝他的诞辰。在日本，夸美纽斯以他的教学方法和儿童教科书而闻名。但今天，他被认为是17世纪欧洲最伟大的思想家之一。我们的主要目的是在更大范围内重新审视他的思想。首先，我们思考了他的哲学思想。他的基本观点是，人是作为上帝的形象被创造出来的，所有人都有与生俱来的能力来改善自己和他们所生活的社会。教育，他的教义(如何教学的方法)和泛智(教育的内容)是实现这些可能性的手段，他的目标是所有的人不仅要在童年接受教育，而且要在一生中接受直到死亡的教育。我们还关注他的政治思想和他的和平思想。此外，我们考察了捷克、德国和日本的夸美纽斯研究。

Comenius (Czech name Jan Amos Komensky) was born in March 28th 1592, in Moravia (now a district of Czech Republic). In 1992 his 400th Birth was celebrated in various countries as well as in Czechoslovakia.In Japan Comenius has been well known as an educationalist with his Didactics and his Textbooks for children. But today he is regarded as one of the greatest thinkers in 17th century Europe. Our main purpose was to re-examin his thoughts in a wide scope.First, we considered his philosophical thought. His basic standpoint is that Man is created as an Image of God and all men have the innate possibilities to improve themselves and their society in which they live in. Education, his Didactics (the methods of how to teach) and Pansophy (the contents of education) are means to realize those possibilities, and his aim is that all men must be educated not only in childhood but also in the whole life until death.We were also concerned with his political thought and his idea of Peace.In addition to that we examined Comenius-studies in Czech, Germany and Japan.
