The texts of Diogenes of Oinoanda (2nd century AD) who invited his readers to an Epicurean life is the largest ancient inscription ever discovered. Over 70 new finds have increased the number of known wall blocks and fragments to nearly 300, offering new insights into Diogenes' distinctive presentation of philosophy. This collection of essays discusses the philosophical significance of these discoveries and is the first of this kind entirely devoted to Diogenes of Oinoanda. Particular attention is paid to his philosophical aims and polemical strategies. Diogenes was apparently well aware of still ongoing philosophical debates, engaging in polemics against Presocratic philosophers, Platonics, and especially Stoics. His views about important issues like happiness, fear, old age, and the afterlife are explained on the bases of Epicurean physics and theology, ethics, politics, theory of knowledge, and psychology.

Le Centre de Recherche Philologique de l’Université de Lille III publie ici, dans un premier cahier, quelques etudes consacrées a l’histoire de l’epicurisme, qui est l’objet d’une de ses activités principales. Les travaux de ses membres ont en commun d’insister sur l’examen approfondi de la lettre du texte, où nous voyons la condition d’un renouvellement de la compréhension. La critique de la tradition interprétative fait partie de ce reexamen, dont le lieu privilégié se trouve dans des textes, qui, se situant eux-mêmes dans une continuité remarquable, comme le poeme de Lucrèce et le mur d ’Oenoanda, imposent une réflexion sur les modes de l’actualisation dans le cadre d’une orthodoxie essentielle. Nous sommes heureux de publier en meme temps les travaux d’hotes du Centre, et en particulier les demieres découvertes de Martin F. Smith a Oenoanda, qui manquent une nouvelle etape de la connaissance de l’inscription de Diogene. David Sedley, qui a présenté a Lille, dans une sérié de séminaires, les problèmes poses par l ’interpretation des papyrus du Péri Phuseôs d’Épicure, reprend ici l’analyse de quelques parties de la Vie de Diogene Laerce, complétant heureusement le commentaire de ce texte par André Laks. P.H. Schrijvers explique, a propos d’un chapitre de la physiologie, de quelle manière doit être reprise, selon lui. la question des « sources » de Lucrèce, considérées comme le materiel d’une culture scientifique globale. Diskin Oay, qui entretient avec le Centre des relations suivies et déjà anciennes, communique, sur ce sujet, les éléments d’une réflexion de portée générale.

This collection of essays—the first of its kind in English—brings together the work of an international group of scholars examining the entire tradition associated with the ancient Cynics. The essays give a history of the movement as well as a state-of-the-art account of the literary, philosophical and cultural significance of Cynicism from antiquity to the present.Arguably the most original and influential branch of the Socratic tradition, Cynicism has become the focus of renewed scholarly interest in recent years, thanks to the work of Sloterdijk, Foucault, and Bakhtin, among others. The contributors to this volume—classicists, comparatists, and philosophers—draw on a variety of methodologies to explore the ethical, social and cultural practices inspired by the Cynics. The volume also includes an introduction, appendices, and an annotated bibliography, making it a valuable resource for a broad audience.
