Abstract
This article proposes to present the main results of a Master's research that investigated the philosophical possibilities in Ethnomathematics. The methodology used was based on the mapping concept proposed by Deleuze and Guattari, which enabled traverse different territories - Philosophy; Mathematics Education; Mathematics; Ethnomathematics - and then outline maps likely to the philosophical field of Ethnomathematics. Within this context, there has been some philosophical twists that link with the thoughts of the philosopher of suspicion: Nietzsche. It is assumed, based on the philosophical possibilities observed in the survey, that Nietzsche's thought is configured as a capability to support the philosophical field of Ethnomathematics. We propose a reassessment of some of the truths of this territory, placing suspicion on certain beliefs shared in the production of research of Ethnomathematics own field. This work intends to contribute in the field of mathematics education and to the philosophical debate on Ethnomathematics.
