Diogenes Laertius

Diogenes Laertius

c. 180 CE–c. 240 CE

Biographer of the Greek philosophers; his Lives is our single richest source for the doctrines and anecdotes of the ancient schools.

The world in their lifetime

Thinkers and teachers of other traditions whose lives overlapped with Diogenes Laertius’s — a glimpse of the wider world they lived in. Drawn purely from recorded birth and death years.
