abstract = "The Peripatetic Dicaearchus composed a series of works dedicated to the intellectual history of Greece.

The sages are known for their highly practical maxims and general rules of right conduct; Pythagoras developed a new lifestyle and promulgated it in his public and private teaching; Socrates introduced a new form of intellectual and moral pursuit; while Plato founded an institutional framework for philosophical studies having thus paved the way to a systematic research, conducted by the Peripatetics. The evidences are translated on the basis of a new edition of Dicaearchus' fragments, prepared by Mirhady (2001).",
