Summary/Abstract: This article deals with application of creative technologies in Ancient Greek philosophy. The author concentrates on creative visualization technology used in ethics of classical cynicism. Namely, creative visualizations of the main ethical principles of cynicism – vicious surplus of pleasures and virtuous radical temperance – are scrutinized. The possible modern paraphrases of the above mentioned ancient visualizations are as well analyzed within the context of contemporary creative society. The article comes to conclusion that classical visualizations are not basically relevant to contemporary society. Yet, being prototypes of modern visualizations as well as broadening contexts and horizons of creative visualization itself, they retain significance for the analysis and deeper understanding of that society.
