Description
This rich compendium on the lives and doctrines of philosophers ranges over three centuries, from Thales to Epicurus, to whom the whole tenth book is devoted. Forty-five important figures are portrayed. Diogenes Laertius carefully compiled his information from hundreds of sources and enriches his accounts with numerous quotations.
Diogenes Laertius likely lived in the earlier half of the 3rd century CE, though his ancestry and birthplace remain unknown. His history, divided into ten books, is unscientifically split into two 'Successions' or sections: 'Ionian', from Anaximander to Theophrastus and Chrysippus, including the Socratic schools; 'Italian', from Pythagoras to Epicurus, featuring the Eleatics and sceptics. It serves as a valuable collection of quotations and facts.
The Loeb Classical Library edition of Lives of Eminent Philosophers, Volume I by Diogenes Laertius is available in two volumes.
