The philosopher was Diogenes, and he was searching for an honest man.
According to Wikipedia:
Contrary to the other citizens of Athens, he avoided earthly pleasures. This attitude was grounded in a great disdain for what Diogenes perceived as the folly, pretence, vanity, social climbing, self-deception, and artificiality of much human conduct. He used to stroll through the Agora with a torch at full daylight. When asked about it, he would answer "I am just looking for an honest man". Legend sometimes has him holding a lantern, rather than a torch.

Diogenes walked through Athens in broad daylight carrying a lighted lamp, searching for an honest man. On another occasion Diogenes is said to have had an interview with Alexander the Great, who said: "I am Alexander the Great"; the philosopher answered, "And I am Diogenes the Cynic." Alexander then asked him in what way he could serve him. "You can step out of my sunlight," the philosopher replied. Alexander is said to have been so struck with the Cynic's self-possession that he made the went away remarking:
"If I were not Alexander, I should wish to be Diogenes."

I agree with, and support, the answer posted by "Pandak" 9 minutes ago. Not that all other answers are wrong - just the way Pandak's reply is presented is so professional, informing and resourceful. I vote for it to be the best answer.
