Pansophism

"[Comenius's] second great interest was in furthering the Baconian attempt at the organization of all human knowledge.

His book Pansophiae prodromus (1639) was published in London with the cooperation of Samuel Hartlib.

Pansophy in this sense has been defined as ‘full adult comprehension of the divine order of things’.

[4] He aimed to set up a Pansophic College, a precursor of later academic institutes[5] He wrote his ideas for this in a tract Via lucis, written 1641/2 in London; he had to leave because the English Civil War was breaking out, and this work was eventually printed in 1668, in Amsterdam.

[6] The term was not original, having been applied by Bartolomeo Barbaro of Padua in his De omni scibili libri quadraginta: seu Prodromus pansophiae, from the middle of the sixteenth century.
