The Cynic's Manifesto: Diogenes of Sinope and the Subversive Wisdom of Radical Simplicity

Year: 2026

Type: preprint

Abstract: This paper examines the ancient Greek philosophical tradition of Cynicism, specifically focusing on Diogenes of Sinope. By contrasting human over-complication with the unburdened existence of non-human animals, this study explores how radical minimalism, autarkeia, and anti-establishment philosophy offer a quantitative and qualitative antidote to modern burnout and industrial anxiety.
