90: Diogenes the Cynic: Chaotic Greek Philosopher

This week Morgan and Emileigh explore the alleged life and philosophy of Diogenes of Sinope, one of the fathers of the school of Cynicism. This man lived in a pot, hung out with dogs, and regularly insulted Plato. Join us as we discuss his, erm, lifestyle, and how he helped influence philosophy for ages to come.
