Synopsis "Chreia of Diogenes the Cynic (in English)"
This booklet is bound for the junior reader who is fond of the ancient Greek philosophy. It presents one of the commendable founders of stoicism and the world's most cited, painted and sculptured philosopher of all time - Diogenes the Cynic. Employing vigorous tools, such as chreia (humor, anecdotes), and his own lifestyle on public display, Diogenes of Sinope revolutionized the asceting teaching to the extent that it was even noticed and embraced by Alexander the Great. The awe was mutual: Diogenes admired Alexander so deeply that he was comparing the military genius with the Sun. Both died the same day in 323 BC, Alexander - age 33, and Diogenes- age 89. Some say, Diogenes died by suicide (after learning about Alexander's death he held his breath for several minutes). The cover of this book presents Raphael's famous fresco, 'The School of Athens, ' where the lonely reclining figure in the foreground is Diogenes the Cynic.
