Review of Navia's Classical Cynicism,
By
This review is from: Classical Cynicism: A Critical Study (Contributions in Philosophy) (Hardcover)
This is a great introduction to Cynicism written in the only plausible manner -- anecdotally. Navia does a great job of presenting the lives of many major Cynics, and some of the basic principles present in their revolt from social norms. This isn't a text heavy in first or even (directly) secondary sources. It is a review of content presented in doxographical literature, though it doesn't quote this literature. I would love to see a text on the Cynics with doxographical reports, but, for now, this seems to be the best alternative.

This review is from: Classical Cynicism: A Critical Study (Contributions in Philosophy) (Hardcover)
This book was wonderfully well written, suitable for those of us not familiar with all the details of philosophy and its characters. I recommend this book to those interested in human history.
