The sun is the image of truth. The sun as an image of reason was a dominant metaphor among educators of the Enlightenment period. Towards the end of the 19^<th> century, the metaphor regained popularity as an image of sensibility among reformative educators, many of whom cultivated mystical ideas. Their influence on education in general was slight, but Werner Zimmermann (1893-1982), a Swiss teacher turned life-style reformer, gained in 1922, as Wolfgang R. Krabbe (1942-) pointed out, widespread attention through his book "Lichtwarts (Toward the Light)", in which he stated that education should aim at forming "sunny" characters. Typical for the era, the sun metaphor in Zimmermann's educational thoughts is inspired by an eclectic syncretism which attempts to fuse western and eastern religions.
