Founded by Antisthenes, a student of Socrates, the Cynics would be a minor philosophical school throughout the Greco-Roman classical period. Famous for their obscenity, asceticism and virtue they challenged convention and influenced the later and more important Stoics.

Great video. Very informative. The infamous stories of Diogenes always crack me up haha.

This is a very good video on cynicism ! I dislike how the Roman critic of the cynics as hypocrites has apocryphally become the modern definition of cynicism.
