The antique skepticism, whose elements are noted in Socrates and Plato, in skeptics objectively led to the reconsideration of the potential of knowledge and experience, and opinion about the man. It is characteristic for paideia after Socrates the thesis about the self-knowledge in the limits of ideals of polis. A connection of personal and public attained Cicero, whose educational ideal was aimed on humanitas and universalis, for the synthesis of knowledge about the man and the formations. In XVII the century J. A. Komensky, being based on the doubt, supplemented empirical knowledge by epistemology.
