En savoir plus sur le livre
Though once regarded as the “father of modern education,” Jan Amos Komensky is often overlooked today, receiving minimal attention in educational histories. This neglect is unfortunate, as Komensky offers valuable insights relevant to contemporary, standards-driven education. Jan Habl’s significant work revisits Komensky’s educational philosophy, emphasizing the importance of the transcendent in his thought. In our secular and often dehumanizing times, this book is a timely reminder for educators. Lessons in Humanity provides a thoughtful analysis of how Komensky’s religious and philosophical beliefs shaped his innovative contributions to education and pedagogy. It highlights an educator who was remarkably ahead of his time, whose insights remain beneficial today. Dr. Jan Hábl, a devoted husband and father of two, is a lecturer in pedagogical theory at the University Hradec Králové in the Czech Republic and serves as a pastor in the Brethren Church. His academic background includes education from J. E. Purkyne University, theology at EMF School of Biblical Studies in England, and philosophy at the University of Wales. With years of experience at the Comenius Institute, he has taught various subjects, including systematic theology and the philosophy of education. Dr. Hábl is passionate about education, viewing it as a fundamental human need and a captivating aspect of human nature.
