GRICE E LUCIANO: IL CINARGO ROMANO -- ROMA -- FILOSOFIA ITALIANA -- LUIGI SPERANZA

 

Grice e Luciano: il cinargo romano -- Roma – filosofia italiana – Luigi Speranza (Roma). Filosofo italiano. He studied at Rome with Nigrino  -- whom some suspect to be his invention – and Albino, of the Accademia. Also influenced by Demonax, whose philosophical outlook was more eclectic, although he is generally regarded as a Cinargo. Luciano is famous for his essays and dialogues, mostly satirical, many of which have survived. A number of philosophers appear in them, although not all of them may have existed. As a satirist, he is more interested in mocking pomposity and exposing hypocrisy than in advocating any positive doctrine. Loeb. Luciano.
