  Diogenes Apolloniates
Diogenes is the subject of numerous apocryphal stories, one of which depicts his behaviour upon being sold into slavery.
Though Diogenes himself lived in poverty, slept in public buildings, and begged his food, he did not insist that all men should live in the same way but merely intended to show that happiness and independence were possible even under reduced circumstances.
Diogenes is described as having being visited by Alexander the Great during the latter's conquest of Asia Minor.

 Diogenes
The derivation of the term "diogenite" however, is somewhat different: from Diogenes of Apollonia, the ancient Greek philosopher born in Crete.
Diogenes has the distinction of being the first person in known recorded history to have correctly postulated that "invisible stones" in the heavens ocassionally fell to earth as fireballs.
Diogenes' thought was heavily influenced by Anaxagoras of Clazomenae, who was of the famed Ionian school, and born approximately in 500 B.C., whereas Diogenes was probably 20-30 years his junior.

Diogenes was a native of Apollonia in Crete, who was a pupil of Anaximenes and contemporary with Anaxagoras.
But Diogenes might have written before Anaxagoras and yet have been his junior, as we know was the case with Empedocles.
Diogenes followed Anaximines in making air the primal element of all things; but he carried his views further, and regarded the universe as issuing from an intelligent principle, by which it was at once vivified and ordered, a rational as well as sensitive soul, but still without recognizing any distinction between matter and mind.

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.

For there were at least five ancient Greek philosophers named Diogenes: Diogenes of Oenoanda (a follower of Epicurus), Diogenes of Smyrna (a Protagorean), Diogenes of Sinope (the Cynic), Diogenes Laertius (the historian of philosophy), and Diogenes of Apollonia.
It is not just the embarrassing airiness of Diogenes' intelligent designer that disqualifies him as a suitable emblem for the intelligent design movement, however, but the fact that Diogenes embraced the b=D6te noire of intelligent design: methodological naturalism.
Like the rest of the Presocratic philosophers, Diogenes was no atheist, but also like them, he believed that the gods do not interfere with the natural world: for these thinkers, the world was orderly arranged without being divinely administered.

After coming to life, the statues abandon the sculptor for the rich man. Awakening, Raphael continues his pursuit of the beautiful Marco, a society woman who has posed for him.

 Parmenides Publishing: Publications: Patricia Curd
The Legacy of Parmenides provides a detailed examination of Parmenides' arguments, considering his connection to earlier Greek thought and how his account of "what-is" could serve as model for later philosophers.
It then considers the theories of those who came after him, including the Pluralists (Anaxagoras and Empedocles), the Atomists (Leucippus and Democritus), the later Eleatics (Zeno and Melissus), and the later Presocratics (Philolaus of Croton and Diogenes of Apollonia).
The book closes with a discussion of the importance of Parmenides' views for the development of Plato's Theory of Forms.
