The Cynics were a small but influential school of ancient philosophers . Their name is variously derived from the building in Athens called Cynosarges, the earliest home of the school, and from the Greek word for a dog ( kuon ), in contemptuous allusion to the uncouth and aggressive manners adopted by the members of the school. Whichever of these explanations is correct, it is noticeable that the Cynics agreed in taking a dog as their common badge or symbol (see Diogenes ). From a popular conception of the intellectual characteristics of the school comes the modern sense of "cynic," implying a sneering disposition to disbelieve in the goodness of human motives and a contemptuous feeling of superiority. The importance of the school's principles lies not only in their intrinsic value as an ethical system, but also in the fact that they form the link between

LV-EINGANG AGiW-PORTAL AGiW-REGISTER ANTISTHENES. 1. Antisthenes, des Antisthenes Sohn, war geborener Athener. Er stammte aber, wie es hieß, nicht aus vollgültiger Ehe. Als ihn einer darüber höhnte, soll er erwidert haben. "Auch die Göttermutter ist eine Phrygerin." Man glaubte nämlich, seine Mutter sei eine Thrakerin gewesen. So gab er denn auch durch seine rühmliche Haltung in der Schlacht bei Tanagra dem Sokrates Anlaß zu der Äußerung, schwerlich wäre aus einer Ehe eines Atheners mit einer Athenerin ein so trefflicher Mann hervorgegangen. Er gab als erster eine Definition der 'Rede' durch die einfache Formel: "Rede ist der Ausdruck dessen, was ein Ding war oder ist." Immer wieder sagte er: "Lieber verrückt werden als der Lust erliegen." Und: "Man darf sich nur mit solchen Weibern näher einlassen, die einem Dank dafür wissen." Zu einem Pontischen Jüngling, der sein Schüler werden wollte und sich erkundigte, was er dazu brauche, sagte er: "Ein neues Büchlein, ein neues Griffelchen und ein neues Täfelchen," wobei er mit dem "neu" [griech. "kai nou"] immer zugleich auch auf den Verstand [griech. "nous] hinwies.... Als er einst hörte, daß Platon sich absprechend über ihn äußerte, sagte er: "So geht es den Königen: sie tun Gutes und lassen Böses über sich sagen."

Enter into the EYE of Wisdom Diogenes' Lantern The Eternal Search for Wisdom and Enlightened Beings Diogenes was first known in ancient Greece as a man who dedicated his life to the search for intelligent sentient beings with knowledge and practice of the Arts of Wisdom. After centuries of travel and thousands of replaced sandals, the most magickal instrument of the Internet has been discovered. Now the entire planet can be traversed in a matter of seconds at the touch of one's fingers. Hail to Bill Gates , the PROMETHEUS of the Aquarian Age.

Throughout the many Ages of Humankind they have been known as the Magi, Druids, Viziars, Shamans, Gurus, Medicine Men, Wiccans, Living Buddhas, Prophets, Saints, Lamas, Brahmans, Rabbis, Priests and countless other terms. None is greater or wiser by nature than any other. Each religion has its own intrinsic system of teachings and worship, and is a reflection of the spiritual nature of its host culture.

45. Honoré De Balzac - Die Menschliche Komödie Buchtipp Die vierzigb¤ndige BalzacGesamtausgabe im diogenes Verlag. http://home.t-online.de/home/kinderbuch/@bamensc.htm

Balzac ist schuld Daß Balzac nicht vollständig, auch nicht entfernt vollständig deutsch zu haben ist, gehört zu den verlegerischen Eigenarten der eher scheußlichen Art." So schmerzlich äußert sich Rolf Vollmann, der exzellente Kenner der Romanliteratur des 19. Jahrhunderts, in seinem neuesten Buch "Der Roman - Navigator". Diese Lücke auf dem deutschen Buchmarkt ist nun glücklicherweise gefüllt. Der Diogenes Verlag hat die verlegerische Großtat vollbracht und alle Bände der "Menschlichen Komödie" anläßlich des 200. Geburtstags von Balzac am 20.5.1999 in einem Schuber mit vierzig Büchern herausgebracht. In einem Supplement-Band werden alle Personen zusammengefaßt und beschrieben, die Vorrede von Balzac selbst zur "Menschlichen Komödie" ist enthalten, ein kurzer biographischer Abriß seines Lebens sowie ein vollständiges Werkverzeichnis. Lassen Sie sich einfach von einem großen Könner verzaubern und versinken Sie in "Verlorenen Illusionen", oder "Glanz und Elend der Kurtisanen". Das letzte Wort bei Balzac gebührt Rolf Vollmann: "Sie hier, Leserin, Leser, müssen sich nicht entscheiden zwischen solchen Richtungen des Lebens, Sie sind Louise, Sie sind Renée, Sie sind der Grande, der Dichter, der umsorgte Ehemann, Sie haben alles, lesend; freilich: ganz dieselbe, ganz derselbe sollten Sie nicht bleiben wollen, wenn Sie solche Sachen lesen, für manchen wird die Welt beim Lesen größer und riskanter, als sie bis dahin für sie oder für ihn und die ihren und die seinen war. Balzac ist schuld, aber das kümmert ihn nicht. Und uns? Auch nicht."

48. The Diogenes Club: The Adventure Of The Two Collaborators By Sir James M. Barrie This was written by Barrie to Conan Doyle after their failed coauthorship of an opera libretto. It's in the form of a Sherlock Holmes spoof. http://www.diogenes-club.com/collab.htm

The Adventure of the Two Collaborators Sir James Matthew Barrie Written on the flyleaf of a book given to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle commemorating their failed opera, Jane Annie; Or The Good Conduct Prize In bringing to a close the adventures of my frined Sherlock Holmes, I am perforce reminded that he never, save on the occasion which, as you will now hear, brought his singular career to an end, consented to act in any mystery which was concerned with persons who made a livelihood by their pen. "I am not particular about the people I mix among for business purposes," he would say, "but at literary characters I draw the line." We were in our rooms in Baker Street one evening. I was (I remember) by the centre table writing out "The Adventure of the Man Without a Cork Leg" (which had so puzzled the Royal Society and all the other scientific bodies of Europe), and Holmes was amusing himself with a little revolver practice. It was his custom of a summer evening to fire round my head, just shaving my face, until he had made a photograph of me on the opposite wall, and it is a slight proof of his skill that many of these portraits in pistol shots are considered admirable likenesses. I happened to look out of the window, and perceiving two gentlemen advancing rapidly along Baker Street asked him who they were. He immediately lit his pipe, and, twisting himself on a chair into the figure 8, replied:

49. King Biscuit Man.........Diogenes The Cynic diogenes diogenes was a Cynic philosopher of Sinope. His scholars. diogenesfully adopted the principles and character of his master. http://users.otenet.gr/~ziggy/diogenes1.html

DIOGENES pithos , or large tub, in the Metroum. It is probable, however, that this was only a temporary expression of indignation and contempt, and that he did not make it the settled place of his residence. This famous "tub" is indeed celebrated by Juvenal; it is also ridiculed by Lucian and mentioned by Seneca. But no notice is taken of this by other ancient writers who have mentioned this philosopher. It cannot be doubted, however, that Diogenes practiced self-control and a most rigid abstinence exposing himself to the utmost extremes of heat and cold and living upon the simplest diet, casually supplied by the hand of charity. In his old age, sailing to Aegina, he was taken by pirates and carried to Crete, where he was exposed to sale in the public market. When the auctioneer asked him what he could do, he said, "I can govern men; therefore sell me to one who wants a master." Xeniades, a wealthy Corinthian, happening at that instant to pass by, was struck with the singularity of his reply and purchased him. On their arrival at Corinth, Xeniades gave him his freedom and committed to him the education of his children and the direction of his domestic concerns. Diogenes executed this trust with so much judgment and fidelity that Xeniades used to say that the gods had sent a good genius to his house. Various accounts are given concerning the manner and time of his death. It seems most probable that he died at Corinth, of mere decay, in the ninetieth year of his age and in the 114th Olympiad. A column of Parian marble, terminating in the figure of a dog, was raised over his tomb. His fellow-townsmen of Sinope also erected brazen statues in memory of the philosopher. Diogenes left behind him no system of philosophy. After the example of his school, he was more attentive to practical than to theoretical wisdom.

50. John David Galt - Dragon Mille Bornes, Aka Death Race 1000 Rules for combining the auto racing card game Mille Bornes with the Car Wars Card Game. http://www.diogenes.sacramento.ca.us/dragon_mille_bornes.html

Dragon Mille Bornes, aka Death Race 1000 as played by LASFS at LosCon Writeup by John David Galt . Any mistakes are mine. This game is a combination of Steve Jackson Games ' "Car Wars: The Card Game" and Parker Brothers' "Mille Bornes." You need both to play. The game represents arena combat on an oval track. The winner is the first player to go 1000 miles, or the last player left alive, whichever happens first. No other scoring is done. Deal each of the two decks separately, and keep separate draw and discard piles for each. Everyone begins with six MB cards and five CW cards (the standard numbers for each game), and a CW car. Machine guns are unjammed by discarding your entire CW hand; you need not discard any MB cards for this purpose (and you are still limited to one a turn). When either deck runs out, the discards are reshuffled and the game continues. This can happen any number of times. Points that are controversial in Car Wars: The card that breaches someone's armor CAN also damage the driver. (Example: If you have taken 10 hits to your right side, and someone plays a "Machine Gun - Right" (3 hits) on you, the driver takes one point unless you can swerve or play Armor.) I suggest using a die to keep track of the damage to your driver. There is no way to fix damage to a driver. You can still play Armor cards on a breached side and if you have Fireproof Armor, it still protects you (it comes with fireproof underwear).

Diogenes of Sinope [The Cynic] (c. 410 -c. 320 B.C.) Diogenes holding his lantern, and "searching for an honest man." The legend is that when Alexander the Great was named hegemon (boss) of the Hellenic League, many philosophers came to see him and congratulate him. But not the ascetic Diogenes, who lived in "a burial urn" (big clay tub). So Alexander went to see him, and asked if there were anything he could do for him. Diogenes, who had nothing, responded, "You could move away out of the sun and not cast a shadow on me." When Alexander's courtiers jeered at this, Alexander supposedly silenced them by saying "If I were not Alexander, I would be Diogenes." It is curious that most modern philosophers, who dare not even challenge their academic administrationslet alone the rulers of societylove this story so much! None of them seems to have applied a skeptical eye to a tale that has all the hallmarks of a self-serving invention of the philosophical community. Simple living was clearly the nub Of the teaching of one who could snub Alexander the Great With: "Move along, mate!

56. Diogenes Of Apollonia [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Pupil of Anaximenes and contemporary of Anaxagoras in the 6th cn. BCE. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/d/diogapol.htm

Diogenes of Apollonia (6th cn. BCE.) Diogenes was a native of Apollonia in Crete, who was a pupil of Anaximenes and contemporary with Anaxagoras. Schleiermecher, however, affirms, from the internal evidence of the fragments of the two philosophers, that Diogenes preceded 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. Diogenes wrote several books on Cosmology Peri Phuseos IEP

Life of Hipparchia Diogenes Laertes, Lives of Eminent Philosophers Book VI, Chapter 7 Based upon translation by R.D. Hicks (1925) Hipparchia too, sister of Metrocles, was captured by [the doctrines of the Cynics]. Both of them were born at Maronea. She feel in love with the words and life of Crates, and would not pay attention to any of her suitors, their wealth, their high birth or their good looks. But to her Crates was everything. She used even to threaten her parents that she would kill herself, unless she were given in marriage to him. Crates therefore was implored by her parents to dissuade the girl, and did all he could. Finally, failing to persuade her, got up, took off his clothes right in front of her and said: "This is your bridegroom, here are his possession; make your choice accordingly; for you will be no partner of mine, unless you share my way of life. The girl chose and, adopting the same dress, went about with her husband and consorted with him in public and went out to dinners with him. Accordingly she appeared at the banquet given by Lysimachus, and there put down Theodorus, known as the atheist, by means of the following argument: Any action which would not be called wrong if done by Theodorus, would not be called wrong if done by Hipparchia. Now Theodorus does no wrong when he strikes himself. Therefore neither does Hipparchia do wrong when she strikes Theodorus.
