Search for: [Abstract = "Ancient Cynicism was a philosophy practiced up to the 4 th century A.D. Among the key sources that describe the activities of Cynics during this period are two speeches by the Roman emperor, Julian \(361\-363\). Within these two speeches he criticized the contemporary supporters of Cynicism. Julian had an extensive knowledge about the rules of Cynicism and about the lives of its founders\: Antisthenes, Diogenes of Sinope, and Crates of Thebes. He possibly acquired this knowledge during his philosophical studies."]
