I think Diogenes' philosophy is worthy of our deep thought, and we should seriously consider his philosophy. In today's fast-paced era, many people will follow the trend or even be blinded by the interests. Once there was a picture on the news of "I want to go to college" which caused a hot discussion. People seem to be trapped in an endless circle, study hard, get into a good university, get into a graduate school or get into a civil servant. Only in this way can you have a stable job and a good salary. Gradually, many people forget their original intentions, become more and more interested in interests, more and more hope that they can be prosperous and rich. They seem to forget that living free, living happy is what they really want. A lot of people think that only with money can life become better, and when he really has money, he will only want more money, and forget that he just want to live a little happier this original heart. So I think we need to think seriously about Diogenes' philosophy to discover the true meaning and value of life.

I don't think Diogenes' philosophy is completely acceptable, nor is it completely unacceptable. I can accept Diogenes' cynicism, its indifference to money and power, and its spiritual self-enrichment. People often forget their original heart in the luxurious life, and sometimes they need to return to nature to release themselves to find themselves. But I do not accept the rough life like a dog, people should live with dignity, simple life is not equal to raunchy begging, sometimes life still needs to have some sense of ritual.

I think what he said is very reasonable, we are really dominated by a lot of nothingness in reality, we should also live a more natural life. However, in the contemporary society, in the context of this big era, I still think his idea is a little unrealistic. Society needs development, and we have accelerated the momentum of social development while pursuing a luxurious and complex life. We must not lose touch with the time by emphasizing nature. Secondly, each of us is influenced by the traditional social conventions, and we cannot ignore the social conventions.

We should take Diogenes' philosophy more seriously and look beneath its surface to find the essence that is really good for us.
Cynicism may have been overly vulgar in Diogenes' time, living like a savage, but Diogenes's "indifference to worldly eyes" and "freedom to live" may be a good reason for us to rest for a while in the age of "inner volition."More importantly, when we return to nature, like Diogenes, and take ourselves out of the conflict, we can really think about our true value: what I want to do, what I have done.More importantly, when we return to nature, like Diogenes, and take ourselves out of the conflict, we can really think about our true value: what I want to do, what I have done.In the same way, Diogenes would be more rude when he was treated rudely, and we can learn from this that it is a tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye, and not to just swallow it.To sum up, there are two sides to everything, and Diogenes' philosophy is not perfect, but it is not overly negative and unrealistic either - it still has a lot to learn from us and needs to be acquired through our deeper thinking.

Diogenes' philosophy is indeed worthy of our deep thinking, and some of its propositions are also worthy of our adoption. But it seems to me that, in reality, it took so long for humans to evolve into this well-ordered society, and the so-called ethical dogma and extravagance are the key links that keep the society functioning today. The very rules and order that we want to abandon are the very ones that secure our lives today. Therefore, I believe that Diogenes' philosophical thought is worthy of our deep thinking and reflection, but it is difficult to realize.

We need to take Diogenes' philosophy more seriously. Diogenes exposes the hypocrisy of most traditional standards and creeds, and calls for a return to the ideal state of life in simplicity and nature. His disregard for money and power, his maverick, his indifference and pride. In today's society, people are accustomed to a fast-paced life, and they often lose their hearts. We need to find ourselves, break free from the confines of reality, and truly think about our value. This is something we can learn from. But Diogenes' excessive emphasis on returning to nature and living the life of a savage is not something we need to learn. As for Diogenes's philosophical views, we should look at them dialectically, and it is beneficial for us to learn them.

Yes, he is a phiposophy. We should take Diogenes' philosophy more seriously. In cynicism,"Live without conventions" doesn't mean that you can do anything as your wishes, you can kill people, you can do things that have no moral boundaries. Cynicism teaches us to get rid of those complexities and unnecessary things, but doesn't mean to escape from reality.
This based on how people use Cynicism. If you always an extreme view, try not to delve too deeply into this doctrine. If you are feeling confused about your life, you can learn cynicism for some inspiration.
-
In Diogenes philosophy, it is worth learning the spirit of not caring about power and wealth. In this era, the pace of life is too fast, and everyone is pursuing power and wealth, but ignoring simple and non-material life; but I think a simple life does not mean a life like a beggar. The most basic living goods are necessary, but don't pursue too extravagant life.
-
I don't agree with Diogenes' philosophy. In my opinion, every philosophical idea has its own applicable era and scope, and one philosophical idea cannot be accepted by everyone. I am just an ordinary person, a secular person, and it is meaningless for me to fight against the secular. In my opinion, a person should first satisfy his material needs before he can have a chance to pursue spiritual satisfaction. People like Diogenes, who can ignore almost all material needs, are in the minority.
-
Diogenes' philosophy is worth to absorb.He critically pointed out the natural essence of human beings as a living organism.People should live natural and simple,not chasing wealth and fame and fortune.
However,his mind of his philosophy is a form of submission.People today have more serious problem to deal with,needing us put our whole life to struggle with the mortal world.Avoiding problems may be relaxed for a while but not forever.Somethings need to tough attitude to fight.
The only happiness we can achieve is what we do to improve the world.
-
I think Diogenes' cynicism is just an expression of idealism. What he presents in this thought is a quest for absolute freedom of spirit, a renunciation of all material desires. But I think this pursuit is not fully acceptable in our real life. We live in a material world, and if we live in a different style, we may be able to get spiritual liberation. But the ensuing pressure of public opinion will also break us down, what we should do is to step down to our goals, rather than live in an idealistic world.
-
Diogenes' philosophy makes sense. The core of cynicism is rejecting all social conventions and living according to nature.
However,our implementation of cynicism into contemporary reality seems unrealistic. Without social conventions, how can we relate to society?
Each of us is not an isolated island, but we can achieve a certain level of cynicism and reflect on our daily life. Are our lives valueless, wasteful and luxurious? Diogenes' philosophy urges us to look at life from another angle, to look at the value of human beings.
-
I think Diogenes' philosophy is justified to a certain extent. He emphasizes ascetic self-satisfaction, encourages the abandonment of comfort, calls on people to return to a natural and simple state of life, and abandons social conventions. We are under too many constraints in this society, we should live more freely, but we should not abandon the tradition completely.
-
I think Diogenes's cynicism is reasonable. Humans need a simple and free life, and we need to return to nature. But I think it is our thoughts, not our bodies, that return to nature. With the development of the times, our thoughts also need to change. Technology can make people progress. What we need to do is to see the essence of life in a materialistic society, and we should have clear goals, and maintain independent and free.
-
I think Diogenes' philosophy makes sense. Diogenes met the challenge of nature with asceticism, and his spirit and thought played a great role in the development of mankind. Under Diogenes' system of thought, the concept of freedom is very strong, and the pursuit of moral freedom liberated by desire is an idealized "complete freedom". Although it seems to be somewhat extreme and slightly insufficient at present, it has also played a certain role in promoting. So we should take cynicism seriously.
-
I believe that all philosophical thought should be viewed with a neutral, objective and rational attitude. The same is true of cynicism. The fact that cynicism values morality and despises wealth is really worth advocating，but that doesn't mean we can't pursue a more affluent, comfortable life. The health of the spiritual world is equally important to the abundance of the material world. To deal with cynicism, it is enough that we only absorb the part that is good for us.
-
(1)Diogenes advocated selfdiscipline and promoted virtue through simple life. He carried forward the philosophy of cynicism to the extreme in thought and practice. From youth to old age, Diogenes has always been like this, and we can obviously feel Diogenes' cynicism and advocating nature and simple life concept.
（2From ancient times to modern times, the mode of production is constantly changing, and those cynics who accept the idea are more distorted freedom, we learn its minimalism, but we should also criticize his blindly opposing reality.
-
I subscribe to Diogenes' philosophy of undivided parts. He advocated living a simple life and not following the crowd, which I agree with, but he also said to abandon power and money. I think it is impossible to abandon them completely in today's society, although they are very vulgar, but these constitute a part of society, and most people have a certain pursuit of these, so that the society has been running normally. Power still has to be sought after.
-
To be honest，i think we need Diogenes's philosophy in contemporary society. As we all know, today's society has too much pressure. You must face lots of stress from various sides, such as study, work, family. When you feel that you can not breathe under too much pressure one day, why not be Diogenes for a while? Escape the control of society, and try to seek for your really identity. Maybe after that you will get lots of energy from the nature, simple and free. So sometimes be Diogenes is a good choice for you, why not try that?
-
Diogenes' philosophy challenges societal norms, advocating simplicity and self-reliance. While extreme for some, elements like questioning norms and seeking inner contentment are relevant. Rather than dismissal, selectively applying his insights can enrich our understanding of life without embracing every aspect of his lifestyle.
-
Diogenes believed that animals are inherently liberating. Humans are animals, so humans should also liberate their nature and pursue natural behavior. This is his creed called Cynicism. But in my opinion, the difference between humans and animals is that humans are conscious and have self-esteem. If we do like him, we will feel ashamed. But to some extent, his philosophy is enlightening and allows us to think deeper the value of life. So we should objectively and rationally view his philosophy. We should also understand and respect his thoughts and behavior.
-
I think Diogenes' philosophy is worth learning to some degree. He advocated a simple and free life, which may satisfy many people's needs. Nowadays, people spend too much time on some expensive and wasteful things, Diogenes' philosophy provides ways for people to live simply. Meanwhile, in modern time, Diogenes' philosophy will be regarded as Cynicism that many people can not understand, however, we can't dismiss it as too negative and unpractical, there are still something we need to learn from his philosophy.
-
I think we should take Diogenes'philosophy more seriously. In Diogenes' idea of freedom is very strong, the pursuit of moral freedom liberated by desire, and this freedom is idealized "complete freedom". He believes that goodness is the highest moral principle, and goodness can achieve physical and mental freedom and independence. Therefore, the way of life he chooses is asceticism, and asceticism is the fundamental way to achieve freedom. But there was something extreme about his approach.
-
From my point of view，Diogenes' thought is close to the ancient Chinese traditional Taoist thought.They both respect nature, conform to nature, do not artificially interfere with and change the laws of nature, so as to achieve real harmony and balance. We ought to learn from Cynicism and try to understand it with moral values nowadays.
-
Diogenes was the first philosophical madman in the history of European philosophy, who advocated cynicism, lived like a beggar, and developed the cynical concept of "austere" life to the extreme. He escaped the trap of hypocrisy and stuck to his way of life. He pursues a simple life, is not imprisoned by social conventions, and can pursue his own freedom is what we need to learn, but his excessive minimalism, we don't need to admire, we need something external, we should make ourselves more comfortable.
-
The existence of every thought has its own significance, and every philosophy is a reflection on society. By knowing philosophy, understanding philosophy and practicing philosophy, we can make up for and improve the shortcomings and mistakes of society. We should take Diogenes' cynicism seriously, because it reflects the considerable extravagance and corruption of the social atmosphere at that time, and it is also useful for today.
-
I think Diogenes's philosophy is positive for our lives, he advocates a simple and natural life, which can help us to abandon luxury and live a simple life. However, I think Diogenes' promotion of his philosophy is too extreme, begging on the street is not accepted by most people in today's society, we can't live so roughly, we still need some refinement and ritual.
-
I think there is some truth to diogenes's philosolopy which emphasizes harmony with nature and getting rid of the unnecessary things that tie us down like complexity and luxury,we should live freely and comfortably.But on the contrary, some traditional conventions make sense to us.
-
I think we should discuss this problem dialectically. First of all, I think Diogenes has a point, we should not pursue excessive luxury and wealth, but more spiritual wealth. The freedom to simply pursue what we want. However, we also need to discard some things that are not in line with The Times and keep up with the development of The Times.
-
Diogenes preached a minimalist way of life, discarding the extranets and distractions of life in favor of self-cultivation. However, his philosophy is relatively tough, requiring people to abandon all houses, property and social relations, and need to rely entirely on the generosity and ability of others to support their wandering life, which is impractical.
