Cynicism began as a school of philosophy inspired by Socrates and castigated by commentators as a social pathology, a nihilistic rebellion against the fundaments of civilization. This book attempts to vindicate cynicism by exposing it as both a progressive approach to social dilemmas and an enlightened understanding of the human condition.
