Cynic philosophers

Cynic philosophers were a school of thought in ancient Greece that emphasized living a life in accordance with nature and virtue, often rejecting societal conventions and materialism. The term "Cynic" originates from the Greek word "kynikos," which means "dog-like," a reference to Diogenes of Sinope, one of the most famous Cynics, who lived in a barrel and exhibited behaviors that challenged social norms.
