"Lessons by Diogenes" gathers more than sixty works, many unknown, subtle and surprising, by authors of diverse generations and profiles, united under a common link: the learnings of Greek philosopher Diogenes, that today have a particular currency and sense of belonging. Rejecting false honors and richnesses, Diogenes advocated the nakedness and manifested an inhibited way to excesses and vices in society.
