The Allegory of Learning in Comenius’ Labyrinth of the World and Paradise of the Heart
Original language description
J. A. Comenius verbalized number of timeless educational problems in his most famous work The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart, nearly four hundred years ago. What should the proper motivation for learning be? What is the ultimate mission of the scholar? How to prevent the fragmentation of knowledge? How to find unity in the diversity of knowledge, or, uni-versitatis? How to educate the “whole person” to be knowledgeable of things, to control them (not be controlled by them), and use those things for the benefit of everyone? The concept of a holistic education was repeatedly presented and discussed in many of Comenius’s works, but the consolation allegory The Labyrinth of the World and the Paradise of the Heart became his favorite work even among common people, because of its narrative form that is easily readable and understandable. The goal of this text is to present a closer view of what Comenius tells us regarding the ideal education, by what means or form he presents it and finally, how to apply his theory of teaching to the current problems in education.
