Summary: The research aims to establish a dialog between the theory of geography and the philosophical
thought developed by Peter Sloterdijk. To this end, parallels are sought to be drawn between
the way in which geographic science has dealt with relevant themes in its internal framework,
privileging debates around the ontology of space, technique, and globalization. It also aims to
analyze how these same phenomena are recurrently thematized, occupying a fundamental
position in Sloterdijk's philosophy. The themes that guide this investigation, namely, the
ontology of space, globalization, and technique, were not selected arbitrarily. Besides being
well-established issues within the research area of geographic science, they are notions of
fundamental importance for understanding Sloterdijk's thought. It is worth noting that,
although these and other diverse themes dear to the geographical discipline are frequently
worked on by the philosopher in question, his work is not a work that is located within the
internal plane of the theory of geography, after all, Sloterdijk does not expressly intend to
develop a proposal focused on geographic science. However, this fact does not prevent, as
intended in this research, that geographic science can embark on a project of aspiring to a
philosophical basis to (re) think established themes in the discipline. Especially when
identifying the potential that Sloterdijkian philosophy can offer and the still incipient nature of
its reception by the theory of geography.
