Summary/Abstract: Even before János Körmöczi departed for his academic studies, the Consistory of the Unitarian Church intended for him to teach pure and applied sciences upon his homecoming. Despite, or rather complementary to that, he began to study the humanities as well. Furthermore, in order to properly fulfi ll his future teaching position, he wrote lecture notes, copies of lectures and concurrently, translating into Hungarian. All these occurred during the cultural shift s in society following the emergence of rationality and the development of science. Th us, this paper is an attempt to reveal diff erent aspects of Körmöczi’s Introduction to Philosophy relative to such considerations as contents, origin, as well as how it relates to his other manuscripts, by addressing topics as languages and forms of education at the end of the 18th century Hungary and the dialogue between disciplines.
