The Function of Cynicism at the Present Time

Tracing and re-evaluating the role of cynicism within literature, public moralism, and critical philosophy, this volume discovers how a range of modern writers have engaged with Cynic traditions of thought to test the boundaries of what can be thought and said on matters of general moral concern.
