Abstract
This article attempts to decipher the keys for achieving happiness from the viewpoint of Cynic philosophy. Fundamental and highly significant in this regard is the image of the «short-cut to virtue (happiness)», which the Ancients already applied to the Cynics, probably as opposed to the Stoics, meaning by this that the former offered a more direct path towards the happiness appropriate to a philosopher, since, unlike their Stoic descendants, they were against all preliminary theoretical training, concentrating their attention exclusively upon ethics.Downloads
