- This article is mainly about the current understanding of the word cynicism. For information about the ancient Greek school of philosophy, see Cynic. For information about the band, see Cynic (band).
Cynicism (Greek κυνισμός) was originally the philosophy of a group of ancient Greeks called the Cynics, founded by Antisthenes.
Presently the word generally describes the opinions of individuals who maintain that only self-interest motivates human behavior, and who are disinclined to rely on sincerity, human virtue, or altruism. The word is typically used pejoratively.
