	Cynic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Whichever of these explanations is correct, it is noticeable that the Cynics agreed in taking a dog as their common badge or symbol, as early as the tombstone of Diogenes of Sinope.
		The leading earlier Cynics were Antisthenes, Diogenes of Sinope, Crates of Thebes, and Zeno; in the later Roman period, the chief names are Demetrius (the friend of Seneca), Oenomaus and Demonax.
		The very essence of their philosophy was the negation of the graces of social courtesy; it was impossible to "return to nature" in the midst of a society clothed in the accumulated artificiality of evolved convention without shocking the ingrained sensibilities of its members.

	Cynics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		The Cynics had no set space where they met and discoursed, such as the Garden, the Lyceum, or the Academy; for Diogenes and Crates, the streets of Athens provide the setting for both their teaching and their training.
		Cynics seem to have survived into the third century CE; two of Julian’s orations from 361 CE disparage the Cynics of his day for lacking the asceticism and hardiness of “real” Cynics.
		The Cynics deride the attention paid to the Olympics, the “big thieves” who run the temples and are seen carrying away the “little thieves” who steal from them, politicians as well as the philosophers who attend their courts, fashion, and prayers for such things as fame and fortune.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Cynic School of Philosophy
		The Cynic contempt for the refinements and conventions of polite society is generally given as the reason for the name dogs (kúnes) by which the first representatives of the school were known.
		Diogenes, generally referred to as "Diogenes the Cynic", is one of the most striking figures in Greek history; at least, his personality with its eccentricities, its coarse humour, its originality, and its defiance of the commonplace, has appealed with extraordinary force to the popular imagination.
		Nevertheless, there were in the Cynic philosophy elements, especially the ethical element, which later became a source of genuine inspiration in the Stoic School.

	Michel Foucault, Parrhesiasts - Diogenes, The Cynic Philosophers and their techniques
		For example, Peregrinus (a well-known Cynic at the end of the Second Century A.) was considered a kind of saint by his Cynic followers, especially by those who regarded his death as a heroic emulation of the death of Heracles.
		Cynic preaching, however, had its own specific characteristics, and is historically significant since it enabled philosophical themes about one's way of life to become popular, i.e., to come to the attention of people who stood outside the philosophical elect.
		The Cynics also employed the technique of displacing or transposing a rule from a domain where the rule was accepted to a domain where it was not in order to show how arbitrary the rule was.

		The Cynics were not ever a school, but more of a counter-cultural phenomenon.

		Cynic manage to weave melodies together that, while entirely different, relate, interact and play off of eachother in a manner that makes jazz look like child's play.
		Cynic's style owed more to jazz fusion than shredding, and the result was this free-flowing, yet highly technical sonic platter.

	CYNIC's Focus: thoughts? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		I always thought Cynic was a prog-metal band with lots of odd time signatures and complex songs, but this album proves the opposite for me.
		Cynic's Focus is the very definition of what "progressive" music is. They are all awesome musicians, and the songs are fantastic.
		Every time I listen to that CD - usually I have a Cynic phase once or twice a year - it just kills me and I have to sit listening to it and doing nothing else.

		All my teachers (for as long as I can remember) always say something to the extent of "I encourage you to be skeptics, not cynics".
		According to The Cynic's Sanctuary (which is identical to other definitions) a Cynic is a person who makes fun of fools while being "fiercely proud of their independence" and leading a disciplined and virtuous life (in the non-religious contexts of the word).
		Cynics want to change the world - a world free of dishonest scoundrels and a world free of policies that foolishly try to change human nature.

	THE METAL OBSERVER - Review - CYNIC - Focus
		CYNIC was a band which, as many technical Death Metal-devotees like myself know, changed the face of an entire genre of music in the course of one album.
		Unfortunately this would be their only recorded album to ever be released, but the wake it left behind was immense and undeniable.
		I can only say that such people remain the unfortunate ones in this case, as the music CYNIC brings to life on "Focus" is as intensely involving and FOCUSED as one can imagine.
