The author analyzes the scientific and philosophical debates in postrevolutionary France on the role played by the process of socialization in human intellectual development. In addition, he discusses the way in which the controversy on wild children —specifically on the case of Víctor de l'Aveyron—, constituted a sort of "foundation myth" for such disciplines as paedopsychiatry or psychopedagogy. The case was used as justification of the "origins" of these disciplines in the attempts to institutionalize them.
