To the student of ancient philosophy Cynicism may seem little more
than a debased version of the ethics of Socrates, which exaggerates
his austerity to a fanatic asceticism, hardens his irony to
sardonic laughter at the follies of mankind, and affords no
parallel to his love of knowledge. Diogenes was 'Socrates gone
mad'. On the other hand, for the student of ancient social history
and thought from the 4thcentury BC to the close of antiquity, and
even beyond, the mind-set of cynicism is still a constant or
ever-recurring theme.
