Cynics by William Desmond
An introduction to Cynicism that considers both the fragmentary ancient evidence on the Cynics and the historical interpretations that have shaped the philosophy over the course of eight centuries - from Diogenes himself to Nietzsche and beyond.
"Provides a good starting point for interested students to gain the background necessary for contemplating the deeper ramifications of Cynic philosophy"--Dialogue
William Desmond is Lecturer in Philosophy at the Milltown Institute, Dublin, and author of The Greek Praise of Poverty: Origins of Ancient Cynicism.
