The tradition or practice of recording and summarizing the doctrines and opinions of philosophers.
From Greek 'doxa' (opinion) plus '-graphy' (writing), literally the 'writing of opinions'—a field that systematically documented what ancient philosophers believed.
Without doxography, we'd barely know anything about ancient Greek philosophers—most of their original works are lost, so we rely on these compilations, which is both fortunate and frustrating for historians.
