Summary/Abstract: What is the danger of travelling to the True World (le Monde Vrai)? That is the travel which the narrator of some last issues of Le Cabinet du Philosophe published by Marivaux in 1734, proposes to his readers. The aim of this paper is to analyse the philosophical sense of this travel, a social and anthropological initiation, turning out to be a meta-literary utopia coming closely to auto-pastiche. For the modernists, such as Marivaux, an aesthetic deformation may be a way to find the truth. It is the ethic intention that counts.
