<p><em>Diogenes with his lantern or lamp, walking around in the daytime looking for a man (modern phrasing is looking for an honest man).</em></p>

<p>Modern sources often say that Diogenes was looking for an "honest man", but in ancient sources he is simply looking for a "human" (anthr&ocirc;pos). The unreasoning behavior of the people around him means that they do not qualify as human. (<em>La&euml;rtius &amp; Hicks </em>1925, Ⅵ:41<em>)</em></p>

<p>Diogenes argued that instead of being troubled about the true nature of evil, people merely rely on customary interpretations.</p>
