The History of Salvation or History as Gradual Progress? On Understanding John Amos Comenius' conception of history

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The ultimate meaning of human history has attracted attention of many scholars. Comenius presented his reflections on history in Consultatio Catholica. Here he outlines the reform of human society, in anticipation of the seventh millennium which is, in his view, the climax of all historical events: for Jesus Christ – the ruler of history – comes to establish his kingdom on Earth. I argue that Comenius' conception of history presents an original point between the traditional Christian beliefs in divine providence on the one hand and the belief in social progress which makes the human race gradually better, on the other. To illustrate this, I compare Comenius' ideas with two contradictory standpoints introduced by two later personalities, the French clergyman Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet (1627–1724), the representative of the traditional theology of history, and the French philosopher Voltaire (1694–1778), who can be considered the first philosopher of history in the modern sense.
