Abstract: Abstract It is widely assumed that a straight line of philosophical development runs from Socrates to his most famous disciple, Plato, and on to his most famous pupil, Aristotle. There is, however, another important line of development which passes from Socrates to Antisthenes who was the father of the Cynics, and to Zeno the Stoic who was influenced by the Megarian School and the Cynics. These lines of philosophical development stand in contrast to Plato’s Socrates.
