The article discusses the publication of Gonzalo Torné's new anthology dedicated to Cynic philosophy, emphasizing the philosophical school’s pursuit of moral self-sufficiency and its critiques of societal norms. It reflects on the shifting meanings of words over time, providing an example of how the term 'cynic' has evolved beyond its philosophical roots to imply skepticism towards sincerity and righteousness. The Cynic school, originating from classical Greece, sought to highlight the flaws in civilization and social conventions while advocating for a return to natural living. Torné's work aims to revitalize interest in this often-misunderstood school of thought by connecting its ancient principles to modern philosophical debates, ultimately encouraging readers to reconsider their understanding of both Cynicism and the essence of philosophical inquiry.
