RE: Contempt of the Opinions of Others
I love reading about ancient philosophy. I am more of a stoic, but I think the cynics are onto some things.

I studied Ancient Greek for two very difficult years! I like the way this book references so many ancient philosophers. It gives me the opportunity to link through to numerous ancient writers. Farrand Sayre (the author of this public domain book) was critical of the Cynics. The Cynic school is forgotten and discredited now (and overshadowed by the Stoics) but was influential for a long time.
