Summary/Abstract: The meeting of the Little Prince with the Fox illustrates perfectly the ambiguity of the modern educational paradigm. At first sight it seems the Little Prince is the one playing the magister, as long as the Fox asks to be tamed by him. Taming is education, and suggestions in this direction do not stop here: what needs to be tamed is the wildness that, in order to facilitate communion with others, must lose something (the attributes of wildness) and win something in return (the attributes of human nature).
