On Being Human(e). Comenius' Pedagogical Humanization as an Anthropological Problem
Original language description
There is a difference between that which is and that which is to be. Anthropologically: there is a way I am, and the way I am to be, or not to be. How to explain this? This book presents the argument that human nature is both complex and complicated in at least two specific ways ? ontologically and ethically. In our being we are indisputably good, or dignified, worthy, important or noble. But in our morality we are ambivalent ? capable of both good and evil, the humane and inhumane. In his paramount work Jan Amos Comenius expresses the goal of his lifelong endeavor: ?to help man become truly humane? (Pampaedia). If human beings are to become what they ought to be, they need to be educated towards humanity, says Comenius. But the fundamental question is: What is a human being? And what ought they to be? ?Salt ought to be salty. A river ought to be clear. A knife ought to be sharp. But what ought a person to be?? What is their essence? What makes them human? And how can that be cultivated or educated? This book presents Comenius? answers to these questions.
