Summary/Abstract: Since education, unlike manipulation, is possible only as a co-action in freedom, it occurs, and can occur only at the point where educational co-actors’ (i.e. those in mutual educational coacting) personalities are being respected and developed. That implies that the education is an action founded in respecting the Other as different, autonomous and free human being. Furthermore, that figures that the education is essentially always an education for pluralism of values, presuppositions, beliefs, thoughts, ways of life that people develop as their very own and through which they manifest their personalities. But, as the co-action in freedom, that respect has to be mutual. Therefore, educating means developing the Other as different, as one that respects his own personality, but also respects Others’ personalities.
