He was an Epicurean philosopher, but his work is not philosophical. The title is History of Philosophy or On the Lives, Opinions, and Sayings of Famous Philosophers; the work, in ten books, is divided unscientifically into two Successions or sections: Ionian from Anaximander to Theophrastus and Chrysippus, including the Socratic schools; Italian from Pythagoras to Epicurus (who fills all the last book), including the Eleatics and Sceptics. It is a collection of quotations and facts, and is of very great value.The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diogenes Laertius is in two volumes.
