Cartography: strategies of knowledge production

This article deals with the concept of cartography in order to propose a singular style of knowledge production which develops Spinoza’s idea of life expansion. At first, we criticize some of the philosophical influences of Plato and Descartes on the field of methodological discussion as constituents of a homogeneous and moralistic way of life. These influences are characterized by the logical modern rationality. After that, we use the contemporary thoughts of authors such us Deleuze, Einstein, Heisenberg, Gödel and Prigogine to suggest that the knowledge production should state heterogeneity of life, respecting ethical, aesthetical and political parameters.
