From his notorious antics with a lantern in broad daylight to his bold encounters with figures like Plato and Alexander the Great, the book brings to life the story of a philosopher who dared to live differently. Each chapter thoughtfully explores key aspects of Diogenes’ philosophy, drawing parallels to contemporary societal critiques and urging readers to reflect on their own values and societal norms.
