FONNEGRA OSORIO, Claudia Patricia. THREE PROFILES OF THE CYNIC PHILOSOPHERS: ANTISTHENES, DIOGENES AND CRATES. Escritos - Fac. Filos. Let. Univ. Pontif. Bolivar. [online]. 2014, vol.22, n.48, pp.71-85. ISSN 0120-1263.

The Cynic philosophers have stand out because they have followed their passions, talked frankly and examined the normative artifices of their communities. The following paper aims to present, from a hermeneutical perspective, three profiles of their lives, which have in common a search for an ethical-aesthetic way of life in which is significant to act according to what is thought. Bearing this in mind, it is pretended to outline why such a philosophical perspective might guide nowadays the reflection about practices related to the care and knowledge of the self.
