What if a man who wrote nothing became the most quoted thinker in history? 
In Lives of Eminent Philosophers, Book II, Diogenes Laertius shares a rare and revealing account of Socrates’ life, teachings, and influence. This modern translation offers timeless insights into the character of the man who reshaped Western thought not by pen, but by example.

•	Stories, sayings, and habits that shaped a life of virtue and wisdom 
•	A look at Socrates through the lens of Diogenes Laertius’ sharp observation and moral admiration 
•	A faithful, modern translation designed to bring Socrates’ character and ideas to life 
Whether you seek inspiration, moral clarity, or philosophical reflection, this account invites you to meet Socrates not as myth—but as a man.
