This study was written to evaluate the discourse and praxis of cosmopolitics, which is the universal imagination of ethics, morality and justice principles, by addressing the concept of "geographical reason" in David Harvey's book "Cosmopolitanism and the Geographies of Freedom" published in 2009. Through this concept, it is tried to reveal how liberal and neoliberal policies benefit power and power holders on a local and global scale by resorting to the numerous tricks of geographical reason. It has been examined how liberalism, with the idea and goal of universalizing human rights by getting rid of local nationalist claims, places the limits it draws on rights and freedoms in a context. According to Harvey, liberalism, in general terms, resorts to two methods in drawing the boundaries of freedoms. The first is to ignore geographical and anthropological differences, the second is to use these differences in line with its own interests, especially to cover its failures. Analyzing how geographical reason serves the interests of those in power in constructing perceptions, Harvey argues that a new geographical reason should be established. This reason should be placed in a theoretical context of geography to unlock the potential of space, place and environment in the pursuit of cosmopolitics and freedom. The method used in this study on Harvey's perspective on geographical reason is document analysis. In line with the aim of the study, the analysis of the information and documents obtained through literature review focused on themes such as "geographical reason", "cosmopolitanism", "limits of rights and freedoms". In conclusion, Harvey has conceptualized in detail the geographical reason to be constructed through geographical theory. However, the details of whose cosmopolitanism this reason will implement and how it will implement it are left vague.
