GAGIN, François. ¿Es la contra-cultura cínica una negación de las Bellas Artes? Una provocación moderna cara al filósofo-artista. Eidos [online]. 2014, n.20, pp.247-270. ISSN 1692-8857.

Abstract The strangeness caused by the cynic gesture and verb is well known since ancient times regarding philosophical praxis. This paper will challenge, in cynical terms and according to his way ofliving and thinking, the notions of culture and beauty, but from a modern reading of such school, producing a critical thinking exercise. As a result, a current and lively mode of artistic philosophizing will be revealed, at least as written verb in a literary and philosophical way. This challenge can be ironically understood in two ways: the one that the cynics apply when valuing corporal ascesis in its ponos in contrast to institutionalized philosophy schooling; and the one that we apply when the cynicism becomes a subject of the critical proof of our thinking.

Keywords : Modernity; philosophical school; art; cynicism; body.
