A short history of cynicism, from the fearless speech of the ancient Greeks to the jaded negativity of the present. Everyone's a cynic, yet few will admit it. Today's cynics excuse themselves half-heartedly—“I hate to be a cynic, but..."—before making their pronouncements. Narrowly opportunistic, always on the take, contemporary cynicism

This is an introduction to a set of papers in which current Swiss doctoral students describe their work--in an effort to suggest that the field is still engaged in important issues of method and theory and that claims that we ought to now be post-theoretical are rather misplaced.
