Abstract

Abstract Antisthenes of Athens (ca. 445–365 bce ) was a Socratic disciple credited in antiquity with rejecting Plato's theory of forms and inspiring Diogenes of Sinope and the Cynic movement. Evidence for his views is difficult. He was famous for rejecting pleasure, the possibility of gainsaying, and probably the definition of essence. He was influenced by not only Socrates, but the broader Sophistic movement.
