Diogenes The Cynic: The War Against The World
"..complete enough to be used as a text about Diogenes and Cynicism. The book even includes copies of many of the accounts about this man in the appendix and detailed bibliographies for those wanting to delve deeper into the subject. At the same time though, this book is so complete that the reader need not have prior knowledge of the subject matter."—TCM Reviews online & TCM Reviews Newsletter"[A] truly superb work of scholarship on the ancient figure of Diogenes of Sinope....[I]t will become the key standard reference for Diogenes for a long time to come...a work to be on the shelf of every classical scholar."—Joseph A. NovakAssociate Professor of PhilosophyUniversity of Waterloo, Canada"This is more than a book about Diogenes—it is an examination of a philosophy, a way of being in the world, that finds analogies from dispersed geographical regions throughout history. ... Navia makes a compelling case for the need for genuine Cynics in a world-gone-mad!"—Richard S. AscoughAssociate Professor of New TestamentQueen’s University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada)
