The paper deals with the Socratic ethics as developed by Antisthenes and conceived by the doxografical tradition as the basis of Diogenes' Cynicism. The author tries to show that Antisthenes' thought as a whole is connected with paideia (education). Thus Antisthenes' interpretations of Homer as well as his logical paradoxes have ethical aiming. There is a close connection between Antisthenes' logic and his ethics of the care of the self. Socratic thought in Antisthenes' fragments is neither sceptical nor dialectical. Contrary to both 'intellectualistic' tendencies Antisthenes puts stress on the wise continually practicing ethics. By using of logical paradoxes (mainly ouk estin antilegein) Antisthenes probably hoped to demonstrate the anti-Platonic priority of ethics over metaphysics and logic. From this point of view Antisthenes can be seen as the predecessor of practical Cynical bios (way of life).

The paper gives an outline of Antisthenes' ethics. The first part questions the accounts of modern historians, who try to include Antisthenes in one or other philosophical schools of that time (sophistics, socratism, cynicism). In the second part it shows the affiliations between Antisthenes' thinking and Socratic tradition: It comes out, that the interconnection between the former and sophistics and cynicism might have come into existence as late as in the later doxographic accounts of his doctrine. The third part deals in more details with the writings Kyros and Heracles, which exemplify a mimetic depiction of the way of acting of a Socratic sapient. The analysis of the preserved fragments shows that the Antisthenian ethics is practical differing from the Platonic conception of practice in that in moral knowledge and moral action became one. Thus it represents a non-theoretical expansion of Socratic ethics and as such cannot be grasped by the classical approaches which draw a sharp line between socratics and sophistics.

Diogenes’ attitude to sensual pleasure has been for a long time the object of cheap muckraking among laymen, as well as the cause of interpretational variety among the scholar authorities. In the present paper we propose several interpretative options offered by the doxographical records of Diogenes’ attitudes to human sexuality. The author identifies and compares two types of asceticism: the radical on one side and eudaimonistic or hedonistic on the other, which he further refers to as the „Oriental“ and „Greek“ respectively. It is argued, that Diogenes’ position may be classified as moderate, hedonistic asceticism, which is characteristic also for the Greek culture in general. The author also tries to prove that the specific Diogenes’ notion of justice as well as his public masturbation is fully compatible with his historically highly probable attitude to hedonistic asceticism.

The article sheds light on the Diogenes’ concept of human being as articulated in cynic philosophy. Its focus is on the question: Who is the person Diogenes is looking for with a lantern in his hand in the full daylight? And it offers an answer: A fully individual human being, a subject protruding from the crowd, a person without property, luxury, passions, despising social conventions. The care of the self in the sense of self-creation is the point developed throughout the article.
