Summary
The Philosopher Who Urinated On People | DIOGENES Diogenes strongly opposed social values and institutions, because, according to him, these are at odds with human nature.He believed that human society infused us with all kinds of unnatural desires that are not only obsolete but also prevent us from being happy. Therefore, we should strip ourselves of these corrupting manmade constructs, so we’re able to live how we’re supposed to live: in agreement with nature.Diogenes’ stance toward everything cultured was very obvious. He practiced what he preached, behaving obscenely, with no regard for convention. It’s no surprise that people called him ‘doggish’, doglike, or simply ‘the dog’. This video explores Diogenes’ philosophy, and what we can learn from his ideas.Cuts, voice, footage, script by Einzelgänger.
