A readable summary of Advaita Vedanta theology and epistemology.
[Philosophy East and West, Vol. 11, No. 4 (Jan., 1962), pp. 231-237.]
He very well could have been a forerunner of the Cynics, in part because of his strong, but playful, parrhesia. None of his works have survived.
Adam Kotsko on how to read Zizek.
People are complaining in the comments, but I like that they left the connections to his christianity implicit.
I'm currently listening to this radio series by David Cayley on Simone Weil (nearly 5 hours total length).
"Hipparchia of Maroneia (fl. c. 325 BC) was a Cynic philosopher, and wife of Crates of Thebes. She was born in Maroneia, but her family moved to Athens, where Hipparchia came into contact with Crates, the most famous Cynic philosopher in Greece at that time. She fell in love with him, and, despite the disapproval of her parents, she married him. She went on to live a life of Cynic poverty on the streets of Athens with her husband."

Adam Kotsko talks about several of Agamben's ideas
"as long as our own freedom is secured through the segregation of others, into concrete abysses – even, or especially, if these others remain invisible to us – it is a false sense of freedom, and it diminishes our own capacities for critical awareness."
3 Quarks Daily is one of my favorite link-aggregator logs on all of the internet. It is strange and charming, and, um, top-ish. They post a lot of poetry, but that's usually easy to ignore. On Monday's they post original content.
This outline provides a good summary of the first volume of Giorgio Agamben's homo sacer project. But it doesn't include any quotations from the werewolf chapter, which was one of my favorites.
