Abstract
Cynicism commonly is interpreted as a moral
phenomenon. However this understanding of cynicism is not completed. It is
necessary to analyze the tradition of cynicism as a philosophical and cultural
phenomenon. The cynicism is especially popular during the periods of crisis,
amid the breakdown of ideologies and religious doctrines. The tradition of
cynicism is inseparable from the history of kynicism. Nowadays the phenomenon
of cynicism is widely spread in the Western world. In accordance with the
philosophy of Peter Sloterdijk contemporary mass consciousness in the West is
characterized by universal diffusive cynicism. In the opposition to diffusive
cynicism Peter Sloterdijk develops an original philosophical theory called
neokynicism
