The life and teachings of Diogenes of Sinope, the Greek philosopher
who gave rise to classical Cynicism, deserve careful consideration
because of their relevance to contemporary ethical issues. The task
of reconstructing the philosopher's life, however, is exceedingly
difficult, because in his case, more than in those of other ancient
philosophers, we must deal not only with the scarcity of reliable
sources and testimonies, but also with the mountains of anecdotal
and fictional accounts that are responsible for the creation of a
veritable literary legend around the Cynic who once lived in a tub.
This comprehensive study reconstructs his biography on the basis of
classical and Arabic sources, identifies the main ideas and
principles of his philosophy, and shows the application of his
philosophical message for our contemporary world. It also includes
an extensively annotated translation of Diogenes Laertius' Life of
Diogenes of Sinope, which is our principal source of information
about the philosopher.
