Cynicism: The Ancient Greek Philosophy

Matthew Gumke
4.9/5 (26051 ratings)
Description:Cynicism is a personal position that expresses a demonstrative disdain for accepted norms and traditions that interfere with the solution of pragmatic tasks and those that are of little use in a practical sense.The origin of the term "cynicism" is associated with the ancient Greek philosophical school of cynicism (from the ancient Greek cyon - dog), which took shape towards the end of the 5th - beginning of the 4th century BC. Representatives of cynicism rejected the importance of money, power, honors and other human values. The moral ideal of the Cynics was a natural way of life, asceticism and individual virtue.The practical orientation of cynicism, expressed in propaganda shocking and eccentric antics, drew attention to the very act of social challenge. The original philosophical content was not always in sight. By the V century AD Cynicism was already associated with a specific line of behavior, disregard for generally accepted views and social norms. In the XIX century, negativist aspects of the cynical philosophy served as the basis for the formation of the concept of "cynicism" in the meaning of a skeptical attitude to ethical and social values.In this book, you'll learn everything you need to know about cynicism and Diogenes.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
