Selectour is a concluding meditation in Éloge du Monde where Michel Serres reflects on choice, orientation, and responsibility in our journeys through the world. Playing on the idea of the “selected tour,” Serres suggests that traveling—whether intellectual, cultural, or ethical—always involves decisions about where to go, what to value, and how to relate to what we encounter.
In this section, Serres emphasizes that the world offers multiple paths rather than a single dominant route. Knowledge is not linear or universal but plural and situational. Selectour calls on readers to become thoughtful travelers: to choose openness over domination, dialogue over certainty, and care over exploitation. The world, Serres concludes, deserves not conquest, but attention and respect.
