"Diogenes (/daɪˈɒdʒɪniːz/ dy-OJ-in-eez; Ancient Greek: Διογένης, romanized: Diogénēs [di.oɡénɛːs]), also known as Diogenes the Cynic (Διογένης ὁ Κυνικός, Diogénēs ho Kynikós) or Diogenes of Sinope, was a Greek philosopher and one of the founders of Cynicism. He was born in Sinope, an Ionian colony on the Black Sea coast of Anatolia, in 412 or 404 BC and died at Corinth in 323 BC.
Diogenes was a controversial figure. He was banished, or he fled, from Sinope over debasement of currency. He was the son of the mintmaster of Sinope, and there is some debate as to whether it was he, his father, or both who had debased the Sinopian currency. After his hasty departure from Sinope he moved to Athens where he proceeded to criticize many conventions of Athens of that day. There are many tales about him following Antisthenes and becoming his "faithful hound". Diogenes was captured by pirates and sold into slavery, eventually settling in Corinth. There he passed his philosophy of Cynicism to Crates, who taught it to Zeno of Citium, who fashioned it into the school of Stoicism, one of the most enduring schools of Greek philosophy.
No authenticated writings of Diogenes survive, but there are some details of his life from anecdotes (chreia), especially from Diogenes Laërtius' book Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers and some other sources.[4] Diogenes made a virtue of poverty. He begged for a living and often slept in a large ceramic jar, or pithos, in the marketplace.[5] He used his simple lifestyle and behavior to criticize the social values and institutions of what he saw as a corrupt, confused society. He had a reputation for sleeping and eating wherever he chose in a highly non-traditional fashion and took to toughening himself against nature. He declared himself a cosmopolitan and a citizen of the world rather than claiming allegiance to just one place."
狄奧根尼（古希臘語：Διογένης，羅馬化拼音：Diogénēs [di.oɡénɛːs]），也被稱為狄奧根尼斯的昔尼克主義犬儒哲學家（Διογένης ὁ Κυνικός, Diogénēs ho Kynikós）或西諾普的狄奧根尼，是一位古希臘哲學家，也是昔尼克主義犬儒學派的創始人之一。他於公元前412年或前404年出生於西諾普，這是黑海沿岸安那托利亞的一個伊奧尼亞殖民地，並於前323年在科林斯逝世。
狄奧根尼是一位具有爭議性的人物。由於貨幣貶值，他被放逐，或逃離了西諾普。他是西諾普造幣廠廠長的兒子，對於是他、他父親還是他們兩人貶低了西諾普幣值，有一些爭議。離開西諾普後，他搬到了雅典，在那裡他批評了當時雅典的許多慣例。有許多關於他追隨安提西尼並成為他的「忠實獵犬」的故事。狄奧根尼被海盜俘虜並被賣為奴隸，最終定居在科林斯。在那裡，他將他的犬儒哲學傳給了克拉提斯（Crates），克拉提斯又教授給了善尼翁（Zeno of Citium），後者將其發展成為斯多葛學派，這是最持久的古希臘哲學流派之一。
狄奧根尼沒有留下經過驗證的著作，但從軼事（chreia），特別是從狄奧根尼·拉爾提烏斯（Diogenes Laërtius）的《著名哲學家的生平和觀點》和其他一些資料中，可以找到他生活的一些細節。狄奧根尼以貧窮為美德。他靠乞討為生，通常睡在市場上的一個大陶罐，或pithos，裡面。他用簡單的生活方式和行為來批評他所看到的腐敗、混亂社會的社會價值觀和機構。他以高度非傳統的方式在任何地方睡覺和吃飯而有名，並且強化自己以抵抗自然。他宣稱自己是一位世界公民，一個宇宙公民，而不是僅僅宣稱忠於某一個地方。
