From around 500 BC, the Cynic philosophers sought to cure humanity of greed and vice, guaranteeing happiness through freedom of speech, poverty, self-sufficiency and physical hardiness. In this collection of writings from Diogenes to the Roman emperor Julian, the history and experiences of the Cynic philosophers are explored.
