It is established that in the philosophy of cyrenaics in the period of early Hellenism there were two tendencies: the alienation of the individual from society and the preservation of the connection between the Polis and the individual. The first tendency was most pronounced in the philosophy of Hegesias and Theodorus. The second tendency was manifested in the philosophy of Anniceris. It is shown that the prevailing tendency was the alienation of the individual from society and this was associated with the crisis of the values of the polis. At the same time, the tendency to preserve the connection between the Polis and the individual reflected the influence of the values of the Polis, which were preserved in a weakened form in the period of early Hellenism.
