Asking statues for alms to get into the practice of being rejected. I love that. Diogenes is my personal favorite philosopher, but out of respect for him I will never laud him because, I feel, that would only insult him. Every time I see a homeless person; I can't help but wonder if they aren't a modern version of Diogenes. That's my hope anyway.
A person like that today would be labeled crazy, wildlike, anti-social, & asocial. Also condemned as a dangerous non-conformist if they begin 2 encourage others, then thrown in an asylum/prison or even as.sasinated- just like the famous ppl who preach peace & harmony were a.ssasinated.
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy Yeah the man... I mean, it looks as though there is a leopard jumping out of his left calf muscle and heading straight into his groin... Am I the only one seeing this??
@@theredbaron5117 haha I believe it to be perhaps a leopard pelt of sorts, so you aren't completely mad! I have a skewed view since I cut it out from its original painting. Forgive me for I do not remember the name of the original.
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy I'm still sane?! Good stuff!! I could tell that the background was Van Gogh but had no idea who the man was or what painting he was lifted from so the image made for confusing viewing to say the least lol, but thanks for clearing up the 'leopard leg' thingy! Much obliged for the reply, thanks again!!
He somewhat reminds of of that "dirtiest man in the world" in Iran who had just recently passed away. I was reading an article and I could not help but see him as the modern Diogenes, though without the philosophy.
As far as we know his lifestyle choice was not due to him being forced to live in such a way, but rather a personal choice possibly influenced by the Oracle of Delphi.
I feel that there are much more knowledgeable individuals on the subject of Jesus and Christianity who would bring much more clarity to the subject than myself. Thank you for watching and making the suggestion!
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy we need a non Christian perspective of the philosophy tho. All the ones I’ve found seem to be made by Christians and thus there’s bias and if I’m being honest, a lack of true understanding
Maj Devetdu 14 hours ago "No one seem to be abeal to say his name right The D is prononce like Th" Maybe in your native language the D in his name is pronounced as a 'Th' but for english speakers it's pronounced as a D...and maybe in your native language the word 'able' is spelled 'abeal' but for english spellers it's spelled 'able'
As skeptical as many philosophers were, not many were willing to openly mock societal decorum as Diogenes did
One of a kind he is.
He truly was a dog. Dog is man's best friend. Therefore Diogenes is our best boi.
I think he's fake. He didn't exist.
@@ofHerWordAnd where does that take the conversation?
@@jasondean88888 you just Diogenes-ed that person
Plato: Sócrates goes mystical
Aristotle: Socrates goes rational
Diogenes: Socrates goes mental
Marcus Aurelius: Socrates goes Giga chad.
You can be a cool philosopher but are you Diogenes cool?
Sure, when Diogenes rubs one out in public hes a considered a great philosopher but when i do it, I get arrested and banned for life from Pizza Hut.
Wtf!? This is probably the BEST Diogenes video out there in TH-cam, thanks

"the man that had everything and the man that had nothing" - very poignant and fitting. Very Nietzschean thing to say. ;-) Great video.
yes nietzsche was a fan of the cynic school of philosophy ☻
Diogenes would have a much harder time finding a man nowadays. Most people are backdrop people.
Including you ?

@@DonManuelConLeonsJacket Yeah, but I don't think Diogenes would care tbh.
@AddictionSucks1988
Same here. Blending in or bending over backwards is not part of my being.
He wasnt mad! His head is just made different than yours!
Diogenes just didn't give a flyin' f@$%.
What in Zeus' name is that image/picture @5:36
are you speaking of the man in the picture or the group of images as a whole? If the man I intended it to be a depiction of a return to nature.

Probably coined the term "piss off!"
It's canon in my book from now on.
Well Done.
Thank you for taking the time to watch, I am happy you found it helpful!
Socrates nearly went to the Iron Maiden but Billy the Kid intervened before Napoleon lost his shit again.
Indeed, I remember reading this.
Thanks.
how is a man self sufficient if his existence relies on the charity and hard work of others?
A fair question, one wonders if he would survive without the aid of admirers. I am sure he would, like a dog, find something to keep him going.
Outlandish man
He somewhat reminds of of that "dirtiest man in the world" in Iran who had just recently passed away. I was reading an article and I could not help but see him as the modern Diogenes, though without the philosophy.
But didn't he have to live this way because he debased the currency?
As far as we know his lifestyle choice was not due to him being forced to live in such a way, but rather a personal choice possibly influenced by the Oracle of Delphi.
@@LetsTalkPhilosophy if that's true he would probably be diagnosed as autistic today.
Anyone living like this?
Pls make a video about the philosophy of Jesus.

Let's not.
Nah.
If you want, I can give a generous interpritation of early "Christian philosophy" summed up in 4 words.
Don't be a dick.
What more do you need?
Nah I'm not mad ,I'm completely sane and right
Diogenes is a vampire. 🌕🤯🧛🏻
Looking for an honest man? Pretty bold words for a thief.
Plenty of thieves abound and do not call themselves as such. He was honest about the nature of man as well as his own
The more you have the less you are!!!
Sinooooop, sinoooooooooooop
He seems nice. 😀
I'm sure a pleasure to be around XD! Thanks for the continued support Grace!
An un honest Man is not a Man hence the translation.
And there you go he said it himself, this is Satan trying to mock by saying no Good Man walks the earth
Doglike? Or in Diogenes' case, Godlike.
No one seem to be capable to say his name right
The D is prononce like Th

Maybe in your native language the D in his name is pronounced as a 'Th' but for english speakers it's pronounced as a D...and maybe in your native language the word 'able' is spelled 'abeal' but for english spellers it's spelled 'able'
@@theredbaron5117 in his native language cause thats how you say his name he was not an american
@@theredbaron5117 its like saying shakespeare when he was named Shakspere
Was this Satan. ?
