In this study an exegetical approach is made to the classic work entitled The great didactic to examine its philosophical presuppositions. In good account, the following reflections are guided by the point of view of Jan Patočka, a phenomenologist who approached the work of the father of pedagogy with the following question: how does Comenius understand the world of life? From this question an idea emerged in which this study is circumscribed, namely, in the thought of Comenius the strong idea of existence as a structure of formation processes is embedded. Now, within the world of life the subject who enters training is discovered as the subject of the world. Of course, as a subject he realizes, eo ipso, that he lives with others -in intersubjectivity-. And it is at this point where training requires not exclusively an idea of nature, of the world, of the order of one and the other Equally, it demands method. Comenius idealizes the order of nature and conceives it as a model of and for formation. Thus, then, it assumes a kind of continuity between the harmony of the world and the harmony of the soul, which can be achieved through training. We want to make the above considerations present following closely the text of Comenius.
