As cynical schools, and Platonic Megarians was founded by a student of Socrates, called Aristippus of Cyrene. His main foundation is ethics and argues that it is the spiritual pleasure, as Aristippus to achieve happiness is to get rid of any concerns so we can achieve self-sufficiency.
Aristippus founded the school after the death of his teacher, but charged to teach wisdom, not Socrates. Aristippus said he could not rely on science and reason as an ideal of life, but could be based on feelings, as they are all safe.
Following the sensations we looking good, this leads to pleasure and it is the only way to judge and determine the other values, but to achieve the pleasure we must be prudent and wise, because if you do not have these qualities can lead us to pleasure and also cause some pain cause pleasure. Taking into account the values \u200b\u200bneeded to achieve pleasure, Aristippus says that there is no evil worse than ignorance, and we try to explain why people live in society if the pleasures are individual, arguing that men live in society because it gives them pleasure interact with others.
Cyrenaica School was founded in the city of Cyrene and developed among 400 and 300 BC The school has not only ideas of Socrates bases, are also among the sophist Protagoras. De Socrates inherited the idea that pleasure is the greatest good, and Protagoras that all knowledge is relative. The Cyrenaics dictate that the good man is he who seeks the greatest pleasure while minimal pain. But the question that arises is what the Cyrenaics think it's the pleasure, the pleasure first Cyrenaics divided into a hierarchy in which bodily pleasures were subordinated to the higher nature of men. Other Cyrenaics but later said that pleasure is just a state without suffering, and others after they simplified further and replaced it with a state of "cheerfulness and indifference."
Cyrenaic theory did not apply to the behavior of people and can hardly be considered an ethical system, and that regardless of the duty or obligation, they eliminated the good and evil pleasure replacing and pain respectively. Cyrenaic school has no knowledge of the fundamental rights of persons claiming that they had to obey the law and avoid punishment, which leads to a heightened state of pleasure. The ideas were later Cyrenaics common with the Epicureans and barely differed from them because they had very similar reasons.

Cyrenaics Other important than Aristippus of Cyrene was his daughter Areta, Areta's son and his grandson Aristippus "El Joven" systematizing the allegations of his grandfather, Theodore "The Atheist," a disciple of Aristippus "The Youth" who opposed the Greek ideas about the gods, and Hegesias which replaced the hedonism of Cyrenaica by extreme pessimism.
