Résumé
Voltaire calls his Micromegas "a philosophical story". This article intends to prove the philosophical value of this story focusing on the Problem of Observation. The thesis the paper defends is that Voltaire understands "observation" as a form of ideologized process, and that it is with this goal in mind that he refers to men of letters such as Fontenelle or scientists as Derham, Leeuwenhoek or Hartsoeke
