Diogenes of Sinope (b.412 BC)

Under the serene moonlight, we revisit the ancient streets of Athens where Diogenes of Sinope, with his audacious spirit, challenged the norms of his time through acts of theatrical defiance. Through whispered narratives, we encounter the eccentric philosopher who sought truth by holding a lamp to the daylight, searching for an honest man amidst the pretenses of society. As he makes his bed in a large ceramic jar, eschewing the comforts that chain others to convention, we sense the profound simplicity in his quest for authenticity. Let us untangle the layers of his philosophy tonight, finding peace in the purity of his unconventional wisdom.This episode is hosted by William Davis.
