The thoughts of John Amos Comenius, an important figure in Czech history, influenced philosophy, pedagogy and its marginal branches in the Czech Republic and other European countries. His ideas, which he based on Czech traditions, were directed towards resolving the issue of good and evil. This paper discusses the importance of Comenius’ works in the context of the social and social-pedagogical dimensions. Its aim is to reflect on the basic ideas of the teacher of the nations in his many years of work. The enrichment of the social as well as socio-pedagogical sciences is a topic we dealt with in the article; we wanted to point out the legacy of J. A. Komenský’s ideas for the present

Keywords: John Amos Comenius, social pedagogy, society, education, rectification
