- W90575431 abstract "IVAUCH CONTEMPORARY THINKING ABOUT poli tics, especially self-consciously 'liberal' forms of thinking, seem to assume not just that there is a rather clear distinction be tween 'public' and 'private,' but also that this distinction is of great and continuing philosophical and political signifi cance. I think both of these assumptions are false. I would like to argue for this view by discussing three more or less concrete instances of human behavior. Each of these is an action performed by a known historical figure who lived in the Mediterranean basin during the period we call 'An tiquity,' and each of them, I think, illustrates a distinct aspect of our conception of the public and the private. Diogenes of Sinope, who lived in the fourth century BC, was in the habit of masturbating in the middle of the Athe nian market place.1 He was not pathologically unaware of his surroundings, psychotic, or simple-minded. Nor was he living in a society that stood fairly low on what we take to be the scale of our cultural evolution, one in which such forms of behavior were not yet subject to systematic disapproval and socially regulated. Rather, we know that the Athenians objected to his mode of life in general and to this form of behavior in particular. They clearly considered him to be a kind of public nuisance and they made their disapproval known to him. We know this because the doxographic tradi tion specifically records Diogenes' response to a criticism of his masturbating in public. He is said to have replied that he wished only that it were as easy to satisfy hunger by just rub bing one's belly.2 Why exactly, though, was this action offensive? I will sug gest that it was for two distinct reasons.
