The figure of the Cynic philosopher Diogenes is not only a source
of recurrent fascination for authors of classical Antiquity and
modernism, but also - and especially - for the Middle Ages and the
early modern era. Here the philosopher figures as a critical spirit
inspiring a large number of apocryphal stories and above all a
whole series of exempla. The various narrative forms taken by these
latter and the poetological status of the exemplum genre are the
central focus of the volume. It delineates and analyzes the various
reception traditions by which the Diogenes narratives have come
down to us and also functions as an edition of these narratives as
a collection of sources. A further concern of the study is to
understand the significance of Diogenes as an 'exemplary' figure
for authors ranging from Erasmus to Nietzsche, Walter Benjamin and
Foucault, the main focus here being on his role in the modernist
context.
