Cynicism from the Aesthetic Perspective of "Crazy Socrates" to "The Emperor's New Clothes"

Introduction "Cynics" originally referred to a school of ancient Greek philosophy inherited from Socrates. They advocated returning to nature and promoted an ascetic and ascetic lifestyle. At the same time, they were dissolute and shameless in their behavior. They used their "pretending to be crazy" bodies as weapons to construct an anti-theoretical critical posture to express cynical and anti-secular ethics. They thus gathered into a group of rebels in the city-state of Athens. Since modern times, compared to the ancient Greek period, cynicism has pointed more towards negative values ​​such as decadence, nihilism, callousness and cynicism; however, despite the huge differences, the two still have certain similarities. Distinguishing and analyzing this, and exploring the presentation and changes of cynicism in identity identity, rational application, perceptual manifestation, artistic creation and living conditions from an aesthetic perspective are of great significance to a deep understanding of the cultural phenomenon of "cynicism".
