Justus Lipsius, born Joest Lips, lived from 18 October 1547 to 23 March 1606 and was a Flemish Catholic philologist, philosopher and humanist who wrote a series of works designed to revive ancient Stoicism in a form compatible with Christianity, the most famous being De Constantia (On Constancy). His form of Stoicism influenced a number of contemporary thinkers, creating the intellectual movement of Neostoicism, and he taught at the universities of Jena, Leiden and Leuven.
