Diogenes of Sinope\u00a0(c. 404-323 BCE) was a\u00a0Greek<\/a>\u00a0Cynic philosopher best known for holding a lantern (or candle) to the faces of the citizens of\u00a0Athens<\/a>\u00a0claiming he was searching for an honest man. He was most likely a student of the philosopher Antisthenes (445-365 BCE) and, in the words of\u00a0Plato<\/a>\u00a0(allegedly), was \u201cA\u00a0Socrates<\/a>\u00a0gone mad.\u201d He was driven into exile from his native\u00a0city\u00a0of Sinope for defacing currency (though some sources say it was his father who committed the crime and Diogenes simply followed him into exile).<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

THE PHILOSOPHY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

According to Diogenes society was an artificial contrivance set up by human beings . Which did not accord well with truth or virtue and could not in any way make someone a good and decent human being.\u00a0 And so follows the famous story of him . Holding the light up to the faces of passers-by in the market place looking for an honest man or a true human being. Everyone, he claimed, was trapped in this make-believe world.\u00a0 Which they believed was reality and, because of this, people were living in a kind of dream state. He was not the first philosopher to make this claim; Heraclitus, Xenophanes, and, most famously.\u00a0 \u00a0Socrates all pointed out the need for human beings to wake from their dream state to full awareness of themselves and the world<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

DIOGENES AND ALEXANDER THE GREAT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In the case of Alexander the Great, both Diogenes Laertius and Plutarch relate how, when HE was living in Corinth<\/a>, Alexander came to the city and was very interested in meeting the philosopher. He found Diogenes resting in the sunlight, introduced himself, and asked if there was anything he could do for him. He replied,”Yes. Get out of my sunlight.” .\u00a0 Alexander admired his spirit and said, “If I were not Alexander,<\/a> I would wish to be Diogenes” .\u00a0 To which He replied, “If I were not Diogenes, I would also wish to be Diogenes.” . On another occasion, when some people were discussing a man named Callisthenes and the fine treatment he received from Alexander.\u00a0 HE said, “The man then is wretched, for he is forced to breakfast and dine whenever Alexander chooses.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
