ABSTRACT
THE development of the ‘good man’, the acquisition of encyclopaedic knowledge, the building up of the ‘good society’ – these were high aims only to be achieved, according to Comenius, by the right deployment of all human resources constituting a ‘didactic process’. Comenius describes it in these words :
‘We promise a Great Didactic, that is to say, the whole art of teaching all things to all men, and indeed of teaching them with certainty, so that the result cannot fail to follow; further, of teaching them pleasantly . . . further, of teaching them thoroughly . . . in such a manner as to lead to true knowledge, to gentle morals, and to the deepest piety.’
