The Restoration of Human Affairs

“A penetrating analysis of human nature. A bold and all-encompassing vision to reform a broken world. A treatise of hope for our time. These are ways to describe the seven-volume Consultation of seventeenth-century Czech philosopher, theologian, and educator John Amos Comenius. The essays of Jan Hábl’s The Restoration of Human Affairs are a welcome addition to the sparse English commentary on Comenius’s magnum opus.”

“Grounded in history but versed in modern realities, this book offers both a responsible and realistic critique coupled with sage advice. Readers will be empowered to intelligently respond to the challenges of their own emerging world, whether in times of calm or chaos . . . and to do so with civility and productive engagement. Highly recommended.”
