RETAMAL, Christian. LA CONCEPTUALIZACION MODERNADEL PODER VISTA DESDE EL CINISMO CLÁSICO: REFLEXIONES SOBRE EL DEDO DE DIÓGENES DE PABLO OYARZÚN. Rev. filos. [online]. 2007, vol.63, pp. 127-137. ISSN 0718-4360.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0718-43602007000100010.

The present paper approaches the crisis of modernity from the perspective of classic cynicism. We find in Pablo Oyarzún s book, El dedo de Diógenes: La anécdota en filosofía, a fundamental interpretation that allows one to question the modern conceptualization with respect to power. In addition, the contributions of cynicism are analyzed from the perspective of critical theory.
