Description
As both a lifestyle and philosophy, Diogenes' cynicism is a radical way of philosophising which, unlike complex theoretical constructs, remains as closely related as possible to daily realities. In proposing the ideal of a simple life exempt from desire-based illusions, this philosophy offers individuals and societies a liberating form of counterpower. Neither Nietzsche nor Foucault failed to acknowledge its criticism of social values and its debunking capacity. It remains fully relevant to anyone pondering the pros and cons of economic growth and the marginalisation plaguing today's human world. Etienne Helmer teaches philosophy at University of Puerto Rico (United States). His work deals mainly with economic, political and social thought in Ancient Greece.
