Dear Sir/Madam,
I would like to invite you to submit your texts to be published in Volume 7 of our magazine. It will be entitled JOHN AMOS COMENIUS’ PANSOPHIA IN INTERPRETATIONS AND REINTERPRETATIONS BY POLISH AND EUROPEAN COMENIOLOGISTS (2020). After the “journey” Towards comeniology as a science, which enabled us to find many new leads for comeniological research, which inspire us for further research and interpretation, we are approaching pansophia, John Amos Comenius’ philosophy, which all of his writings are imbued with. Despite this fact, pansophia is still an abstract research branch for us, the contemporary dealing with John Amos Comenius’ life and output. It seems that only nowadays, in the 21st century, this idea based upon the message “to teach… everyone… everything about everything.. with all the senses… “ is coming true, mainly thanks to the modern media and their common availability. Comenius kept searching for the harmony of all things. Did he find it?
The subject matter of the volume is correspondent with the 350th anniversary of John Amos Comenius’ death celebrated in Poland, Europe and all over the world. Days of Comenius’ commemoration, conferences and seminars are taking place. The celebrations are certain to enrich the knowledge with new elements and deepen the interpretation of his ideas, including - or maybe first of all – of PANSOPHIA. However, to a large extent it depends on comeniological centres’ good cooperation. Will it be successful in the jubilee years?
Volume 7 of “Siedlce Comeniological Research Bulletin, PEDAGOGY series” is the second year’s accomplishment of the Ministry project Support for scientific magazines. For the first time, the whole process of text submission will take place online on the platform ICI Publishers Panel (see the file “Instructions of how to post an article on the platform ICI Publishers Panel”).
