eng	Comenius - Education to Humanity	Comenius’ efforts for a harmonious, universal humanity exceeded his time. Permanent regard to totality is for Comenius an essential condition of humanization of man. One must be brought up to humanity. Humanity is a mere possibility which man has to done. And education helps him in the realization of this possibility. The task of education is to make from man being of the universe and turn him from subjective confusion to the totality, to the order of being. A man shouldn’t be identified with anything partial in his life, e.g. with his own nation, religion or political party. Partiality of all kinds, thus leaving the terms of totality is the source of disharmony, discord, violence and war, and thus an enemy of humanity. Comenius don’t try to build a manual for destruction of enemy, but he seeks a way to reconciliation and proposes a common search for truth. Even today we are inhabitants of the world, with that we are not satisfied. If we think about how to improve this situation, if we look for ways to change this situation, we find that Comenius’ work may be a great inspiration for us in this respect.
