	Diogenes of Sinope - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Diogenes, "the Cynic," Greek philosopher, was born at Sinope about 412 BC (according to other sources 399 BC), and died in 323 at Corinth, according to Diogenes Laërtius, on the day on which Alexander the Great died at Babylon.
		Diogenes is the first person known to have thought, and said, "I am a citizen of the whole world," rather than of any particular city or state.

	Diogenes
		The most renowned of these is Diogenes of Sinope, the philosopher who walked throughout Athens carrying a lantern in daylight, searching for an honest man. The other is Diogenes Laertius, who lived in the 3rd Century CE and was an historian of various teachers of philosophy, including the teachings and customs of the Druids.
		Diogenes calmly bore the rebuke and said, "Strike me, Antisthenes, but you will never find a stick sufficiently hard to remove me from your presence, while you speak anything worth hearing." The philosopher was so much pleased with this reply that he at once admitted him among his scholars.
		Diogenes probably was visited by Alexander, when the latter held the general assembly of the Greeks at Corinth, and was received by him with rudeness and incivility, which may have given rise to the whole story.

		Now voice is a percussion of the air; or, as Diogenes the Babylonian, defines it, in his essay on the Voice, a sensation peculiar to the hearing.
		The voice of a beast is a mere percussion of the air by some impetus: but the voice of a man is articulate, and is emitted by intellect, as Diogenes lays it down, and is not brought to perfection in a shorter period than fourteen years.
		Diogenes, accordingly, says expressly that the chief good is to act according to sound reason in our selection of things according to our nature.

		Though of noble birth, he worked as builder and tentmaker until he was sent with a military expedition to Megara, where, according to Diogenes Laertius, he heard Plato and resolved to devote himself to philosophy.
		It is more likely that he heard one of Plato's followers, inasmuch as Plato died when he was only four years old, if the above dates are correct.
		Diogenes says that he left no writings, and the Eretrian school disappeared after a short and unobtrusive existence.

		He was the original cause of the apathy of Diogenes, and the temperance of Crates, and the patience of Zeno, having himself, as it were, laid the foundations of the city which they afterwards built.
		And this was his dress: a tunic of a dark colour reaching to his feet, and a purple girdle round his waist, an Arcadian hat on his head with the twelve signs of the zodiac embroidered on it, tragic buskins, a preposterously long beard, and an ashen staff in his hand.
		Accordingly, Diogenes said once to a person who was showing him a clock; "It is a very useful thing to save a man from being too late for supper." And once when a man made an exhibition.

		These considerations, with others, are sufficient to banish this anecdote, together with that of the tub, from the domain of history; and, considering what rich materials so peculiar a person as Diogenes must have afforded for amusing stories, we need not wonder if a few have come down to us of somewhat doubtful genuineness.
		With regard to the philosophy of Diogenes there is little to say, as he was utterly without any sci entific object whatever.
		The surname, Laertius, was derived according to some from the Roman family which bore the cognomen Laertius, and one of the members of which is supposed to have been the patron of an ancestor of Diogenes.

	Birth and death of Diogenes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Diogenes Laertius informs us that he was already an aged man in the 113th Olympiad (324 — 321 B.C), and elsewhere notes that he was nearly ninety years old at the time of his death.
		According to Demetrius of Magnesia and Suidas, his death occurred on the same year of Alexander ‘s death in Babylon (423 B.C), and plutarch calls attention to the even greater coincidence that Diogenes and Alexander died on the very same day, witch is also reported by Diogenes Laertius.
		If this report is historically correct, there should be no reason for not pushing back the time of his birth to the year suggested by Diogenes Laertius, that is 413 B.C, for then Diogenes would have been a middle age man when the famous defacement of the coinage might have taken place.

		DIOGENES LAERTIUS, author of a biographically arranged history of Greek philosophy in ten books that also deals with the Persian Magi, especially in the first book on the origins of philosophy.
		Of his life nothing is recorded, but according to the internal evidence in his work he must have lived in the 3rd century C.E. Diogenes Laertius gathered his material from (lost) second- or third-hand sources without citing the chain of tradition completely.
		Elsewhere he lays great stress on the relations of prominent philosophers to the Magians: a Magian is said to have foretold to Socrates his death (2.45); Plato, interested in getting into touch with them, is said to have been prevented from doing so by war (3.7); a Persian Mithridates is mentioned as Plato's pupil (3.25).

		Diogenes Lartius' Lives of the Philosophers is a flawed work by an unsinspired thinker and poetaster.
		His work is, however, indispensable to the student of ancient western thought and writing, as his quotations of many earlier philosophers, poets, and miscellaneous writers, whose works have perished, have left a large body of fragments for the historian to collect and analyze.
		The organization of Diogenes' work into successions of philosophers and schools of thought provided the foundation for the subsequent organization of the history of ancient philosophy.
