Abstract

This article has three objectives: first, to understand, through the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze, how a philosophical cartography is created; second, to present one as an example, in this case, that of ancient Stoicism; third, to think about how the generation of cartographies makes it possible to conceive the creation of philosophical maps as openings towards dissimilar modes of existence. Thus, fixed on these difficulties, the text first discusses the Logic (as a technical term) of relationships, the images of philosophers, and the “figures of thought” as the framework under which philosophy creates cartographies. Second, it presents Stoicism as a Logic of incorporeals that created a way of existence that affirms “the event”. Finally, the article discusses how the creation of cartographies, assumed as philosophical (geometric) nomadology, breaks with the idea of a sedentary history of philosophy.
