Diogenes of Sinope

People I find Inspiring (40 person items)

"Diogenes was like George Carlin of his time: he commonly used strange antics, eccentric humor and provocation to make people think and question their way of thinking. Plato, who famously hated him, called Diogenes "crazy Socrates" and he is still remembered today for his famous eccentricity and sense of humor. He has greatly influenced Western thinking through cynical school of thought, which served as an inspiration for more moderate Stoicism and Christian thinking."
