Although it is at best an uncritical and unphilosophical compilation, its value, as giving us an insight into the private lives of the Greek sages, justly led [[Michel de Montaigne|Montaigne]] to exclaim that he wished that instead of one Laërtius there had been a dozen. On the other hand, modern scholars have advised that we take Diogenes' testimonia with a grain of salt, especially when he fails to cite his sources; for instance, an editor of a modern, scholarly edition of ''Lives'' says, "Diogenes has acquired an importance out of all proportion to his merits because the loss of many primary sources and of the earlier secondary compilations has accidentally left him the chief continuous source for the history of Greek philosophy."<ref>p. xix, Herbert S. Long, ed., ''Diogenes Laertius: Lives of Eminent Philosophers'', volume 1, [[Loeb Classical Library]], Harvard University Press, 1972.</ref>
Diogenes treats his subject in two divisions which he describes as the Ionian and the Italian schools; the division is somewhat dubious and appears to be drawn from the lost [[doxography]] of [[Sotion]]. The biographies of the former begin with [[Anaximander]], and end with [[Clitomachus (philosopher)|Clitomachus]], [[Theophrastus]] and [[Chrysippus]]; the latter begins with [[Pythagoras]], and ends with [[Epicurus]]. The [[Socrates|Socratic]] school, with its various branches, is classed with the Ionic; while the [[Eleatics]] and [[sceptic]]s are treated under the Italic.
The whole of the last book is devoted to Epicurus, and contains three most interesting letters addressed to Herodotus, [[Pythocles]] and Menoeceus. His chief authorities were [[Diocles of Magnesia]]'s ''Cursory Notice of Philosophers'' and [[Favorinus]]'s ''Miscellaneous History and Memoirs''. From the statements of [[Burlaeus]] (Walter Burley, a 14th-century monk) in his ''De vita et moribus philosophorum'' the text of Diogenes seems to have been much fuller than that which we now possess. -->
