Cynicism form Diogenes to Dilbert

Cynism degan as a school of philosophy that was largely inspired by Socrates an often decrided by popular commentators as a social pathology.
This book argues that cybisn is both a progressive approach to social dilemmas and an enlighted understanding of the human condition. The book establishes the foundaions of classical Greek cynism and illustrates the varied faces of the cynic phenomenon in such disparate characters as Machiaveli, Nietzsche, Diogenes, the Dadaists, Bataille, Beckett, Auberon Waugh, and the creators of South Park.
