Abstract

The fourth chapter is the text by Zuzana Svobodová, "The Concepts of God and Truth in Comenius's Metaphysical Writings." Here the author presents a unique summary of the structure and contents of Comenius's metaphysics. It is based primarily on a book of Comenius's Writings on the First Philosophy (Spisů o první filosofii), published in 2017, with an emphasis on the analysis of Comenius's concepts of God and of truth.

The author also analyzes the sources of Comenius's metaphysical thought and points out the differences between the sources and those who initiated them. She thus reveals what makes Comenius's concept of metaphysics unique.

The aim of Zuzana Svobodová's text is to show the relevance of Comenius's concept and outline its possible use for today's education.
