Contents:

Another of Comenius works of consolation, in which he comes to terms with his personal and the social and political situation in the period from 1621 to 1627. He considers the caused of human solitariness and attempts to provide instruction on how an individual can come to terms with such a crisis in their life. He sets out a logical scheme of the types of human solitude, the most difficult and inconsolable of which is the isolation of the person who has abandoned God.
