In response, this theoretical article derived from research recognizes the human being as a symbolic and fabricator animal in need of language, and specifically of fictions, to build up his reality. For this reason, the fundaments of anthropology of fictionalism are retrieved for the educational field going in depth in its contributions to human education: fiction as exploration of possible worlds in order to widen each person’s vital experience, beyond the occurred in his existence or the socially convened as real. </p> ER -
