englischThis volume deals with the relevance of art and culture in the multifaceted thought of John Amos Comenius. It also investigates the foundations of this relevance and if and how it can be disclosed for a contemporary public. The intellectual challenges, the intercultural dialogues and the aesthetic atmospheres brought about by this investigation have become manifest in the conference on which this volume is based, and it mediates them again for the purpose of a further broad reception.

Hereby it is shown that the thought of Comenius is deeply rooted in the history of European mentality; that it views ways of human life under the aspect of the labyrinth; and that it has influenced many historical sites of memory. This thought, which reveals itself to be always on the way, can be grasped in modern research also by looking at the ways it interacted with cultural contexts of its own time. The creative re-enactment of this thought during the conference, which was experienced as very felicitous, also is documented and analyzed.
