| Summary: | This article connects the biography of Diogenes of Sinope written by Diogenes Laertius and Friedrich Nietzsche’s autobiography, Ecce Homo.

From this analysis it is possible to show that both authors considered inseparable the form and content of their philosophies; they regarded practice as indistinguishable from theory and that their particular ways of expressing constituted themselves a way of thinking: resistance to meaning. |
