- **Event Name**: Cynic and Citizen of the World
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 25 Jan, 2026 at 11:00 am
- **Event Description**: This talk will introduce one of the most arresting figures of ancient Greek philosophy, Diogenes of Sinope, the founder of Cynicism. Diogenes is the subject of some entertaining stories, which will be shared, but he is also a figure of great importance to ancient Greek and Roman culture, and a figure whose provocations retain their punch. Several provocative features of Diogenes' Cynicism will be discussed, including especially the call to live as a citizen of the world.

Eric Brown was raised in a suburb of Toledo, Ohio, spent nine years as a student at the University of Chicago, and has taught at Washington University for twenty-eight years. His courses include introductions to philosophy, seminars surveying "Great Books" from Homer to Shakespeare, and classes for advanced undergraduates and graduate students in ancient Greek and Roman philosophy and ethics. He's husband to one, father to two, and much taller than you expect him to be.

We're pleased that Eric was able to reschedule this Platform address after a storm-related power outage forced us to cancel his presentation last May.
