Diogenes

Autor: Hector Davidson

Número de Páginas: 52

Diogenes of Sinope, one of the most famous figures in ancient philosophy, is a man whose life and ideas have left an indelible mark on the world. Known for his eccentric behavior and unwavering commitment to a life of simplicity, Diogenes was one of the founders of the philosophical school of Cynicism. His life was a statement, rejecting the norms and conventions of society in pursuit of a personal freedom that few could fully understand, much less emulate. To this day, his legacy remains a profound reminder of the power of nonconformity and the pursuit of virtue above material wealth. Born in Sinope (modern-day Sinop, Turkey), Diogenes was a figure who viewed the world with a unique lens. He rejected the luxuries and complexities of Athenian society, seeking instead a life of self-sufficiency, minimalism, and authenticity. His choice to live in a barrel, or more accurately, a large ceramic jar, in Athens became a symbol of his commitment to simplicity and his disdain for materialism. Diogenes wasn’t just a philosopher; he was a living critique of the social structures around him. His constant questioning of authority, wealth, and societal expectations created a lasting legacy...

Cynicism from Diogenes to Dilbert

Autor: Ian Cutler

Número de Páginas: 236

Cynicism began as a school of philosophy that was largely inspired by Socrates and often decried by popular commentators as a social pathology, a nihilistic rebellion against the foundations of civilization. Modern definitions of the cynic describe an individual who is negative and sarcastic, violently opposed to established authority and social convention, and dedicated to existentialism. This book attempts to vindicate cynicism, arguing that it is both a progressive approach to social dilemmas and an enlightened understanding of the human condition. Chapter One establishes the foundations of classical Greek cynicism, while later chapters illustrate the varied faces of the cynic phenomenon in the persons of such disparate characters as Machiavelli, Nietzsche, Diogenes, the Dadaists, George Bataille, Samuel Beckett, Auberon Waugh, the creators of South Park, and others. Nietzsche is portrayed as the most important representative of both classical and postmodern cynicism, as well as the pivotal link between the two. The book focuses on significant periods of historical change, such as the Renaissance, and the historical cynics responsible for several seminal social ideas, including ...

The Diogenes Way of Life

Autor: Deepak Gupta

Número de Páginas: 24

It's not that I am mad; it is only that my head is different from yours. - Diogenes of Sinope. Nikolai Gogol deeply clarified; the human obsession with purpose is merely a distraction from the absurdity of existence. Suppose you were the first and last human in this universe, would you still do what you are doing right now and I know, the answer is no. Definitely, you would forget your reputation of what people think of you but live for your soul because now, you have no one to judge you or give you any validation. Subconsciously or you can say unconsciously, we are caged by people's expectations of what they see in us. Even a good person has the responsibility to remain good otherwise people would stop respecting him. That's why I always say, a good man doesn't look so good in front of everyone because he's different and difference may seem wrong to this society but overall that man’s integrity prevails in his core character. When society see a good man, he admires him for his goodness because in their eyes, goodness is a sense of true character but in reality, a true character is never bound with good attributes but being honest with himself. When a soul is honest and living...

Diogenes of Oinoanda · Diogène d’Œnoanda

Autor: Jürgen Hammerstaedt , Pierre-marie Morel , Refik Güremen

Número de Páginas: 349

First collection of essays entirely devoted to the inscription of Diogenes of Oinoanda The texts of Diogenes of Oinoanda (2nd century AD) who invited his readers to an Epicurean life is the largest ancient inscription ever discovered. Over 70 new finds have increased the number of known wall blocks and fragments to nearly 300, offering new insights into Diogenes’ distinctive presentation of philosophy. This collection of essays discusses the philosophical significance of these discoveries and is the first of this kind entirely devoted to Diogenes of Oinoanda. Particular attention is paid to his philosophical aims and polemical strategies. Diogenes was apparently well aware of still ongoing philosophical debates, engaging in polemics against Presocratic philosophers, Platonics, and especially Stoics. His views about important issues like happiness, fear, old age, and the afterlife are explained on the bases of Epicurean physics and theology, ethics, politics, theory of knowledge, and psychology. Les textes de Diogène d’Œnoanda (Deuxième siècle de notre ère), qui invitait ses lecteurs au mode de vie épicurien, constituent la plus grande inscription antique jamais...

Diogenes Laertius: Lives of Eminent Philosophers

Autor: Tiziano Dorandi

Número de Páginas: 834

This edition presents a radically improved text of Diogenes Laertius' Lives of Eminent Philosophers. The text is accompanied by a full critical apparatus on three levels. A lengthy introduction lists all the manuscripts of the Lives and discusses its transmission in late antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. There is also an index of personal names, a bibliography and notes covering several features of the text and its interpretation. Professor Dorandi has used the Nachlaß of Peter Von der Mühll, for the first time in its entirety, to verify and consolidate material that he had previously gathered. This is by far the most detailed and elaborate edition which Diogenes' Lives - a unique work which has had a profound influence on European literature and philosophy - has ever received.

An Outline of Cynic Philosophy: Antisthenes of Athens and Diogenes of Sinope in Diogenes Laertius Book Six

Autor: Keith Seddon , C. D. Yonge

Número de Páginas: 238

This volume is a revised translation of the complete text of Book Six about Diogenes of Sinope and the Cynics, taken from The Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers written around AD 230 by the Graeco-Roman author Diogenes Laertius. The Life of Diogenes is accompanied by a detailed outline of Cynic philosophy, explaining Cynic doctrine and its significance for today's audience. Alongside the Life of Diogenes are accounts of other Cynics, including Antisthenes, Crates and Hipparchia. The works of the early Cynics have all been lost, and this text by Diogenes Laertius thankfully preserves an important range of quotations and references. Despite the Cynic's extreme stance, this idealistic philosophy still has a valid part to play in the face of the increasing materialism of our modern society, challenging us to re-evaluate our priorities. The nineteenth-century translation of C. D. Yonge has been substantially revised, and is supported by a new Introduction, Glossary of Names, Notes and Index.

Diogenes and the Cynic Philosophy

Autor: Collection

Número de Páginas: 80

Diogenes was a famous Greek philosopher, known as one of the founders of Cynicism. Banished from his native country and without any resource, Diogenes was reduced to great indigence. He perceived one day, a mouse running briskly up and down, without any fear of being surprised by the approach of night, without any anxiety about a lodging-place, and even without thinking of food. This reconciled him to his misery. He resolved to live at his ease, without constraint, and to dispense with everything which was not absolutely necessary for the preservation of life.

Herakleitos and Diogenes

Autor: Herakleitos , Diogenes

Número de Páginas: 63

All the extant fragments of Herakleitos and a collection of Diogenes' words from various sources. Herakleitos' words, 2500 years old, usually appear in English translated by philosophers as makeshift clusters of nouns and verbs which can then be inspected at length. Here they are translated into plain English and allowed to stand naked and unchaperoned in their native archaic Mediterranean light. The practical words of the Athenian street philosopher Diogenes have never before been extracted from the apocryphal anecdotes in which they have come down to us. They are addressed to humanity at large, and are as sharp and pertinent today as when they were admired by Alexander the Great and Saint Paul.
