Cynic and Citizen of the World; Eric Brown, PhD; 8-Mar-2026
Sunday, 8 March, 2026
This talk will introduce one of the most arresting figures of ancient Greek philosophy, Diogenes of Sinope, the founder of Cynicism. Diogenes is the subject of some entertaining stories, which will be shared, but he is also a figure of great importance to ancient Greek and Roman culture, and a figure whose provocations retain their punch. Several provocative features of Diogenes' Cynicism will be discussed, including especially the call to live as a citizen of the world.
