Summary/Abstract: The article reveals some fundamental relations of Antique Cynics school with consciousness of Biblical prophets. The consciousness of Cynics and prophets is opponent to the theoretical reflection and defines that different reaction to the cynicism, as theoretical position is possible by radical refusal of it and transference into practice. Instead of discussing the possibilities and impossibilities of opening of theoretical reflection, analyzing ways of compromises regarding the survival “inside” the theory, Cynics and prophets radically choose the action of openness and creation of immediate relation.
