Summary/Abstract: The rational person, who minimizes the transaction costs and maximizes the benefits, and the behavior attributed to him, brought forward the claim of covering and encompassing not only internal activities but also all vital areas. The understanding of simple life, which represents the bright face of people, represents another extreme approach, which is the opposite pole of the human model described within the framework of economic theories. The views adopted and brought to life in ancient times and included in primary source works contain a clear parallel with today's theoretical knowledge. This allows the inference that a series of expressions, transfers, interpretations and evaluations that can contribute to the theoretical field in a philosophical sense can be put forward. In this article, which is based on the inference in question, the views that Diogenes put forward not only with his words but also with his life style are discussed together with today's theoretical discussions. The article, which is a qualitative review, was carried out within the scope of document review in terms of research design. As a result, it has been emphasized that an economic and therefore organizational behavior in which the Diogenic understanding is ignored is not appropriate.
