Description: 3rd century biographer of ancient Greek philosophers.
Diogenes Laertius [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] Diogenes Laertius, native of Laerte in Cilicia, was a biographer of ancient Greek philosophers. His  ), in ten books, is still extant and is an important source of information on the development of Greek philosophy. The period when he lived is not exactly known, but it is supposed to have been during the reigns of Septimius Severus and Caracalla. Because of his long and fairly sympathetic account of Epicurus, some think that Diogenes belonged to the Epicurean School, but this is not clear. He expresses his admiration for many philosophers, but his own allegiances, if any, are not stated.
