The contribution investigates if the philosophical principles of Comenius' didactical conception, introduced in the Didactica magna treatise are founded on the Plato's epistemology or if they are rather based on the Aristotelian tradition. The comparison of Comenius' didactics with the works developing the theory of teaching on the basis of Plato's and Aristotle's thoughts proves the Aristotelian origin of Didactica magna treatise. This can be seen in the fact that Comenius' didactics is deduced a priori as well as that the Aristotelian idea of the relation between art and nature ars imitatur naturam was applied to the teaching practice. It is shown that Comenius' didactics was an original project as its author developed he Aristotelian idea into a system of school education as a whole, the principles of which are relevant even today.
