The Dog: A Cynic Biography of Diogenes

Nearly twenty-four centuries ago, a strange hobo wandered the lands of Greece, begging for change and insulting its inhabitants. Far from legislating his face away, he passed into legend only after formulating the world’s most influential philosophy. He influences slaves, freedmen, peasants, aristocrats, and kings. The history of philosophy is long, veined throughout, and hard to penetrate. Through humor and timelessly tireless mansplains, R.B. Lamb reveals the life of a most fascinating figure in history and philosophy. This is a biography of Diogenes of Sinope, also known as Diogenes the Cynic. Dubbed ‘Socrates Gone Mad’ by a man who would know, Diogenes the Dog continues to fascinate after all this time. Like a strange rash, unresponsive to cortisone cream, he continues to flare up into relevance two millennia later. —- ISBN: 9798332766282
