{"product_id":"9780674992047","title":"Lives of Eminent Philosophers, Volume II : Books 6-10 by R.D. Hicks","description":"Examined lives.   Diogenes Laertius,  author of a work on Greek philosophy, lived probably in the earlier half  of the third century, his ancestry and birthplace being unknown. 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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56294351241589,"sku":"9780674992047","price":24.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780674992047.jpg?v=1762763081","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780674992047","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
