"Universal wisdom", in Comenius' view, refers to extensive and comprehensive wisdom. Comenius summed up his educational thought of "universal wisdom" in one sentence in "On Great Teaching", that is, "teaching everything to all mankind".
The purpose of pan-intellectual education:
Comenius paid special attention to the role of education. He hoped that pan-intellectual education could innovate the traditional feudal education and thus achieve the goal of improving society.
First of all, Comenius regards pan-intellectual education as a means to improve society. He spoke highly of the role of education in social life, hoping to change the phenomenon of social moral degradation through education, so as to reduce darkness and struggle and gain light and peace. In particular, he pointed out that if a nation receives a good education, it will eliminate ignorance and poverty, be healthy, have good virtues and live a rich and happy life.
Secondly, Comenius believes that pan-intellectual education is of great significance to human development. He believes that anyone's virtue and talent can be developed through education, and puts forward that the purpose of education is to develop people's knowledge, virtue and piety by accepting knowledge and cultivating morality and belief, so as to prepare for eternal life in the afterlife.
