Diogenes Laertius,R. D. Hicks: Lives of Eminent Philosophers: v.2

Lives of Eminent Philosophers: v.2


Description

This rich compendium on the lives and doctrines of philosophers ranges over three centuries, from Thales to Epicurus (to whom the whole tenth book is devoted); 45 important figures are portrayed. Diogenes Laertius carefully compiled his information from hundreds of sources and enriches his accounts with numerous quotations. Diogenes Laertius lived probably in the earlier half of the 3rd century CE, his ancestry and birthplace being unknown. His history, 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, including the Eleatics and sceptics. It is a very valuable collection of quotations and facts. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Diogenes Laertius is in two volumes.

There's no time for slacking these days as Yoh and his friends race to the rescue of their one-time rival Tao Ren! Ren's dad has strict ideas about how a Tao should behave, and Ren's recent rebellion has earned him a stay in the family dungeons. But Yoh's influence has already started to wear off on Ren, who now has a new weapon against his father's terror tactics, and a group of friends to back him up! But the Tao stronghold is a strange and dangerous place, full of fear and monsters. Will friendship be enough to counter the bloody Way of the Tao? Luke Dantry tragically lost his parents when he was a teenager - his father was murdered by a crazed operative, his Lives of Eminent Philosophers: v.2 download epub mother died in a terrible accident. Brought up by his stepfather, Luke now works with him on his research, monitoring extremist groups on the internet. Yet within the seemingly harmless world of the internet lie untold dangers. And Luke suddenly feels the full force of them when he is kidnapped at gunpoint in an airport car park. As an ordinary guy, someone who has led a blameless life, he has no idea why he has been targeted. He only knows that he has to escape - somehow. But to escape he must learn to trust no one and nothing, and to overcome an enemy more powerful than he could possibly realise - an enemy who knows more than he does about the fate of his parents...
