5. 5. Merkittävien Filosofien Elämät Ja Opit

   

   Teos kokoaa laajoja, usein anekdoottisia elämäkertoja ja oppikuvauksia antiikin kreikkalaisten filosofiakoulujen edustajista; siinä esitetään heidän opetuksiaan, keskeisiä lainauksia, luetteloita teoksista sekä vaihtelevia, joskus ristiriitaisia tietoja henkilökohtaisista tapahtumista. Kirja toimii arvokkaana doxografisena lähteenä erityisesti stoalaisuudesta, epikurealaisuudesta, skeptisyydestä ja klassisista ajattelijoista, vaikka sen luotettavuus vaihtelee ja se sisältää enemmän kertomuksia ja perimätietoa kuin järjestelmällistä filosofista analyysiä.
