That old dog (cynic comes from κυνικός, meaning doglike) had a constant fixation with slavery and may well have died in bondage, albeit bondage of a very paradoxical kind.įrom early on in Diogenes’ story there is a slave involved. Epictetus, one of the foremost stoic theorists, was actually an ex-slave, one of the few philosophers with first-hand experience of Hegel’s master-slave dialectic. What isn’t so generally known is that some of the most influential philosophies of the classical age derived from slavery: the cynics and the stoics both drew their inspiration from it. As for the Romans, they may have been marvellous engineers, but it was their slaves who ran the plumbing. The ancient Athenians may have invented democracy, but the voters still depended on slaves to serve the wine at the symposium.
