Synopsis

This second volume in the series Philosophers and Liberty delves into the life and thought of the Cynic philosophers, the radical rebels of antiquity who transformed philosophy into a practice of freedom and resistance.
From Antisthenes, the founder of the school, to Diogenes of Sinope, the eternal symbol of coherence between thought and action, this book reveals how cynicism questioned social conventions, challenged power, and proclaimed self-sufficiency as the path to true freedom.
More than a historical account, Cynics: The Rebellion of Reason is an invitation to reflect on the use and abuse of philosophy over the centuries — how the cynical message has been distorted to justify hypocrisy and interest, and how its provocative spirit remains current in its criticism of false appearances and imposed dogmas.
For readers interested in philosophy, ethics, and the search for authenticity, this volume brings a deep and engaging analysis, illuminating a movement that challenges conformity and inspires a life of courage and truth.
