Summary/Abstract: To answer the question which of J.A. Comenius` concepts and thoughts are still relevant in today`s education, the article considers the issue of “humanitatis officinae“ and its role in today’s school system. Additionally, the author tries to find the solution for the following dilemmas: What is the current role and responsibility of education in the process of upbringing? And to what extent should the level of freedom and responsibility be involved into the education approach to the individual? In the context of these questions connected with the importance of education, the article recalls some advocates from the areas of philosophy, history, pedagogy, and psychology. According to their similar perspectives on the issue it is possible to reach harmony with Comenius’ legacy, as comparable with their own legacy, for they address us and our understanding of the present world, as well as education of an individual.
