Diogenes the Cynic: Dog or Sage? (EN)

Over deze aflevering

On January 5th, during a special edition of “Oudheid Café,” we recorded an episode with Dr. Inger Kuin of the University of Virginia about her new book on Diogenes of Sinope: ‘Diogenes – The Rebellious Life and Revolutionary Philosophy of the Original Cynic’. In a packed Mayflower Bookshop in Leiden, we spoke extensively, in English, about the life and “lived philosophy” of Diogenes. What do we actually know about him? What sources do we have on him? And what do we know about his philosophy?
