BOOK / FILONIMO, THE DOG OF DIOGENES. A. Briere-Haquet

Philosophy / Illustrated / Children

Adapting famous animal parables, the Filonimo collection seeks to put the most important names in philosophy into the hands of younger readers. Because we are never too young to start thinking, but never too old either, adult readers are also welcome.

Diogenes of Sinope was a cynic philosopher, the first to be one, although his teacher, Antisthenes, was the founder of the cynic school. Diogenes was known for his austere lifestyle and his criticism of society. He was nicknamed "the dog" because he said he praised those who gave to him, barked at those who didn't give to him, and bit the bad guys.
