Extractions: Diogenes of Sinope (c. 404-323 B.C.E.) The most illustrious of the Cynic philosophers, Diogenes of Sinope serves as the template for the Cynic sage in antiquity. An alleged student of Antisthenes , Diogenes maintains his teachers asceticism and emphasis on ethics, but brings to these philosophical positions a dynamism and sense of humor unrivalled in the history of philosophy. Though originally from Sinope, the majority of the stories comprising his philosophical biography occur in Athens, and some of the most celebrated of these place Alexander the Great or Plato as his foil. It is disputed whether Diogenes left anything in writing. If he did, the texts he composed have since been lost. In Cynicism, living and writing are two components of ethical practice, but Diogenes is much like Socrates and even Plato in his sentiments regarding the superiority of direct verbal interaction over the written account. Diogenes scolds Hegesias after he asks to be lent one of Diogenes writing tablets: You are a simpleton, Hegesias; you do not choose painted figs, but real ones; and yet you pass over the true training and would apply yourself to written rules (Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers , Book 6, Chapter 48). In reconstructing Diogenes ethical model, then, the life he lived is as much his philosophical work as any texts he may have composed.

TEACHINGS OF DIOGENES
Selected teachings and anecdotes of diogenes of Sinope.
http://members.optushome.com.au/davidquinn000/Diogenes Folder/Diogenes.html

Extractions: TEACHINGS OF DIOGENES (c. 412- c. 323 B.C ) Diogenes was a very playful philosopher who liked to use great wit when challenging the values and beliefs of his fellow citizens in ancient Athens. He lived in great poverty, probably begging and stealing his food, and steadfastly disdained all forms of luxury. It was because of his determination to follow his own dictates and not adhere to the conventions of society that he was given the epithet "dog," from which the name "cynic" is derived. Here are some of his wittiest and most profound teachings. "Why is it, Diogenes, that pupils leave you to go to other teachers, but rarely do they leave them to come to you?" "Because," replied Diogenes, "one can make eunuchs out of men, but no one can make a man out of eunuchs". In winter Diogenes walked barefoot in the snow. In summer he rolled in the hot sand. He did this to harden himself against discomfort. "But aren't you overdoing it a little?" a disciple asked. "Of course," replied Diogenes, "I am like a teacher of choruses who has to sing louder than the rest in order they may get the right note."
DIOGENES OF SINOPE
Article and anecdotes about his way of life by Ben Best.
http://www.benbest.com/philo/diogenes.html

Extractions: I have long been inspired by the apocryphal story that "Diogenes of Sinope" went about ancient Greece vainly searching for an honest man. But I have no interest in being his apologist. Since there is no authenticated historical documentation about him I will relate some of the tradition about his life more from the point of view of intrinsic interest than from concern for historical accuracy. A major source of information is the third century (AD) Roman doxographer Laetius Diogenes, from whom much that follows is taken. "Cynicism" of ancient Greece and Rome derives its name from the Greek word for "Dog". Aristotle refers to Diogenes as "The Dog" and Diogenes seems to have accepted the nickname. Cynicism was not a "school of philosophy", but rather an "erratic succession of individuals" which can be said to have begun with the philosopher Antisthenes. Antisthenes, an intimate and admirer of Socrates, disclaimed refined philosophy believing that the plain man could know all there is to know. Antisthenes was probably more consciously philosophical though less clever than his pupil Diogenes. Antisthenes emphasized moral self-mastery and is said to have rejected government, property, marriage and religion. But while property was regarded as an encumberance by Antisthenes, Diogenes was not above stealing, claiming "all things are the property of the wise". The objective of Cynicicsm was self-sufficiency ("autarkeia") and the cynic virtues were the qualities through which freedom was attained. The most important virture was callousness or apathy, which had to be attained through training. Another virtue was ruggedness or endurance. The lower animals were to be emulated insofar as they were independent of clothing, shelter and the artificial preparation of food. Cynics sought to disregard laws, customs, conventions, public opinion, reputation, honor and dishonor. The Greek satirist Lucian represents a Cynic as saying: "Scruple not to perform the deeds of darkness in broad daylight. Select your love adventures with a view to public entertainment."

Extractions: (BC, c412-323) Diogenes was chief among the school known as the cynics , though possibly not representative of it [Diogenes "carried the principles of the sect to an extreme of asceticism." ( OED .)]. It was said of Diogenes that throughout his life he "searched with a lantern in the daylight for an honest man." And though Diogenes apparently did not find an honest man, he had, in the process, "exposed the vanity and selfishness of man." ( Chambers The sect, known as the cynics, was founded by Antisthenes (444-370 BC), a pupil of Socrates ; it was "marked by an ostentatious contempt for ease, wealth, and the enjoyments of life." Diogenes was a pupil of Antisthenes. Diogenes, on coming to Athens from his native lands, Sinope, came as "a rake and spendthrift." After following under the spell of Antisthenes, Diogenes "became at once an austere ascetic, his clothing of the coarsest, his food the plainest, and his bed the bare ground. At length he found himself a permanent residence in a tub." (The meaning of cynicism today is to be found in the OED . "A person disposed to rail or find fault; now usually: One who shows a disposition to disbelieve in the sincerity or goodness of human motives and actions, and is wont to express this by sneers and sarcasms; a sneering fault-finder." The image of a cynic that has come to us is that of a dog.)

Larry Phillips of Schenectady's Emmanuel-Friedens Church declared the ground "sacred and holy ... where women's voices and stories are welcomed, valued and affirmed; sacred ground where women are treated with dignity, supported in their role as moral decision-makers ... sacred ground where the violent voices of hatred and oppression are quelled." Right. Women are treated with dignity. With their feet up in stirrups. With forceps and suction machines. Right. Women are supported. Do the Planned Parenthood clinic workers call to follow up a week or a month after the abortion? (Assuming that the check clears, I mean.) Because the volunteers at the crisis-pregnancy center down the street will follow up with help through pregnancy and beyond. But I forgot; they're oppressive. Right. Odd that while Rev. Phillips doesn't like hatred, you get the distinct impression that he isn't very fond of you, either.

Extractions: Diogenes was probably born in 412 B.C. in the Greek colony of Sinope, on the Black Sea. After coming to Athens he adopted the philosophy of the Cynics and became the most famous philosopher of that school. He lived in accordance with the teaching of their belief that a man, in order to attain wisdom and virtue, must be independent of himself, of others, and of the acquisition of fortune. They further believed that it was necessary to give up all the pleasures of life which stand in the way of self mastery. According to that tradition he got rid of all his possessions except a cloak and purse and wooden bowl and lived in a tub or large earthenware jar. Many legends have come down to us relating to his eccentricity. it is said that he walked the streets of Athens barefoot, wearing a long beard and carrying a stick. On occasion he was seen there carrying a lantern during daytime; his explanation being that he was searching for an honest man. The philosopher died in 323 B.C. The original from which this terra cotta bust was fashioned was probably made in the century following Diogenes' death. It is an idealized but life-like portrayal of a wise and noble man.

Extractions: MODERN ANCIENTS BY ADRIAN VRETTOS ONE of my all-time heroes is Diogenes the Cynic, who spent most of his life chilling in his barrel outside the city-state of Corinth . He was the original Cynic because he believed that men and women lived a life dictated by rules and taboos and therefore no one was really truthful or honest. Actually Diogenes is my hero because he was witty, rude, and had little respect for authority. For example, when Alexander the Great rode down to visit Diogenes in his barrel, he offered Diogenes any gift of his choice. With a scowl, Diogenes snapped back his response: "What you've taken away, you can never give me." "Huh?" said Alex.
