The Cynic Philosophers: Diogenes to Jesus
Unless you've been living in a jar, you've probably heard of the famously eccentric philosopher Diogenes, one of the founders of the Cynical school of philosophy. He took the teachings of Socrates to the absolute extreme, living like a dog which has neither possessions nor any intention to follow social norms. But he was not the first philosopher to champion the Cynic lifestyle, and certainly not the last.

Sorry this one took so long! Editing in After Effects is a b*tch when you only have 8 gb of ram 😅Hopefully the visual upgrade was worth the wait. 😋
Keep it up man this is the type of content KZread should be used for

Excellent video and I really like the new format. You have a lot of great videos but this is one of my favorites.
Love this channel and always glad to see a new upload. Videos like these always make me think of the ancient world in a way I dont usually. Really interesting to see how ideas could spread from region to region

I would posit that Hamashiach is a stoic with cynical predispositions. John the Baptist though… That man was a cynic to the bone.
Interesting video!

This is an amazing example of what Jesus actually was . . And where is style came from , . Still the question is , was the bible partly false in not the way to live life but did Moses actually talk to God himself, and what happened to jesus body in the tomb . . Spiritually speaking do some beings as jesus and some saint hood types etc never become part of the universes energy but stays within a spiritual world full of God like beings ?
Jesus was baptised by John the Baptist, who wore camel hair cloak and ate wild honey. Sounds like a cynical character to me. This is a great video. I think it would be improved by a discussion of the nature and influence of John the Baptist.

The richest most powerful man in the world ask the poorest most lowly "Do you want anything I'll give you whatever you ask for." The poor man answered. " I do have a request. If you could just step two pases to the left your blocking my sunlight."
awesome :)
Please do more cynic videos.
💜💜💜

Possibly more indirectly through exposure to Hellenistic culture that shares much in common with the vedic
