Abstracts

EN

Comenius's reflections on economic issues are found primarily in his writings Panorthosia, Letters to Heaven, and The Labyrinth of theWorld and the Paradise of the Heart. They are imbued with an ethical approach in the relationship between the rich and the poor, an effort of mutual understanding and exemplary, zealous competition. Although Comenius admits social di erences, the social structure is unchangeable, given by the Creation of theWorld, which is the work of God and therefore perfect. In Comenius's conception, it is the (im)perfect image of God's perfection.
