Who was the philosopher Diogenes? To the untrained eye, Diogenes of Sinope looked like another homeless man living in a tub in ancient Athens, but he was a lot more than that. He was one of the greatest philosophical minds ancient Greece had to offer. Diogenes was a living criticism of Athenian society. He embodied frugality and simplicity as virtues. But most importantly, he left countless petty and hilarious anecdotes that serve as an excellent comedic refresher when traversing the world of ancient Greek philosophy. He brushed off the terrifying Alexander the Great and had a bitter feud with Plato. I hope you enjoy this video about the Cynic, the dog, and the degenerate and are enjoying the series thus far, the story of western philosophy. Thank you guys for watching.
