Between the Labyrinth and the Way of Light: Early Modern Metaphors of Knowledge and Johannes Amos Comenius

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The international conference “Between the Labyrinth and the Way of Light: Early Modern Metaphors of Knowledge and Johannes Amos Comenius” was organized by the Institute of Philosophy, Czech Academy of Sciences, in cooperation with the German Historical Institute Warsaw. The aim of the conference was twofold. Its first purpose was to discuss and analyse metaphors representing scholarship, learning and knowledge in broad context of early modern scholarly discourse. An ambition of the organizers was to focus on their multiplicity, function and ambivalent standing in various disciplinary, local and linguistic contexts. The second focus of the conference was Johannes Amos Comenius and his works. Like his contemporaries, he enjoyed making use of rich figurative language. In his texts he employed many traditional and less usual metaphors through which he conceptualised knowledge, learning, memory, the universe, humankind, God and a lot of other things. The conference included twelve panels. Twenty five scholars from nine countries met in the Academic Conference Centre in Prague while fourteen specialists joined the meeting online. Thirty one papers were presented and followed by rich discussions.
