ABSTRACT:Based on the values in The Little Prince, this thesis tries to explore in the differences of values between children and adults and the causes of opposite values of them. According to the profound philosophy of life which the novel expresses, this thesis holds that children, on the basis of little prince, judge world with pure sight, pristine heart, and imagination of self. In contrast, the adults hanker after political power, fame and wealth, the obvious tendency of utility. There are many obvious differences of values between children and adults. Tracing to the origin, children judge world with aesthetic and poetic sight and adults judge world with utility and practical view. Through analyzing the values in The Little Prince, we can understand the profound philosophy of life, and judge the objective things correctly and learn to look on life with rational views.
