Abstract

Based on the chapter The Case of the Colorblind Painter of the book An Anthropologist on Mars by Oliver Sacks, this article talks on education as a wide and complex phenomenon, at the same
time institutional and non-institutional, formal and nonformal, that that goes all through life and makes us each time more flexible and human, able to develop peculiar ways of seeing the world, position ourselves inside it and interrelate. Communication
offers us resources to perform in this process.
