Resumen
VASQUEZ GOMEZ, Víctor Hugo. The Philosophical Value of the anaideia in Diógenes de Sinope. Prax. filos. [online]. 2019, n.49, pp.107-128. ISSN 0120-4688. https://doi.org/10.25100/pfilosofica.v0i49.7949.
This article aims to determine what is the philosophical value of anaideia -ἀναίδεια- (shamelessness) and its relation to parresía -παρρησία- (frankness, freedom of speech) in Diogenes of Sinope. It is carried out a reading, analysis and interpretation of classical sources on the school cynical, and particularly of the book VI of Diógenes Laercio "Lives and sentences of the most illustrious philosophers", key text in the studies on cynicism. The result of this analysis is that in these texts, a Diogenes of Sinope is represented, assuming gestures and word replicas in which aidós and moderation are not characteristic of his philosophical attitude, for which reason the anaideia is considered as a affirmation of freedom against the criticism established by the philosopher regarding civilized and artificial life. It is concluded that in order to positively value the cynicism of Diogenes and link it to the whole Greek tradition that privileges reason and virtue, it is necessary to value the ethical and philosophical status of parresía: freedom of speech, openness.
