The Great Didactic of John Amos Comenius

The Great Didactic of John Amos Comenius, as translated and edited by M. W. Keatinge, is a seminal work in the field of education. Originally written in the 17th century by the Czech educator and philosopher John Amos Comenius, the book outlines a comprehensive plan for the education of children from infancy to adulthood. Comenius believed that education should be universal, accessible to all, and based on a natural progression of learning. He emphasized the importance of experiential learning, hands-on activities, and the use of visual aids to help students understand complex concepts. The Great Didactic also includes a detailed description of Comenius's ""pansophic"" system, which aimed to create a universal language and knowledge system that could be shared by all people. Keatinge's translation and editing of this classic work make it accessible to modern readers, providing valuable insights into the history and philosophy of education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
