«Das Leben des Diogenes. Alles für die Tonne!»

First as Empe­do­cles, now as a mod­ern rein­car­na­tion of Dio­genes of Sinope: Peter Trab­n­er joins Dio­genes in the bar­rel and phi­los­o­phizes about what dri­ves peo­ple in today’s tur­bo cap­i­tal­ist age. The Greek philoso­pher Dio­genes had the opin­ion that every­thing mate­r­i­al, striv­ing for pow­er, mon­ey, and civic pres­tige pre­vents peo­ple from liv­ing in accor­dance with their nature and achiev­ing true hap­pi­ness. Is what Dio­genes demand­ed in ancient Greece still pos­si­ble today – to renounce con­sump­tion?
