"In Search of an Honest Man" ~~ "I am a citizen of the world" ~~ "Hope is the Dream of a Waking Man"
Despite having apparently nothing but disdain for Plato and his abstract philosophy, Diogenes bears striking resemblance to the character of Socrates. He shared Socrates' belief that he could function as doctor to men's souls and improve them morally, while at the same time holding contempt for their obtuseness. Plato once described Diogenes as "a Socrates gone mad."

I remember first hearing the story of Diogenes when I was in 5th grade or so, yet he never ceases to fascinate me.

I love Diogenes. Along with Schopenhauer, he is my favourite philosopher.

A fascinating brief insight in the life of an eccentric philosopher. As usual, the pictures are stunningly displayed and the backgroud music is wonderful to the senses. Another excellent posting Maya!
