尤斯图斯·利普修斯
面对时代的苦难——战争、迫害、流亡——良方不是逃避,而是坚毅:一种立足于理性而非意见、接受天意所带来之事的心灵坚定;统治者必须把美德与审慎结合起来,维护秩序,保持一支纪律严明的军队。

立场
Lipsius is on the map as the founder of Neostoicism, the revival of Stoic philosophy that shaped European ethics and political thought around 1600. “On Constancy” (1584), written amid war, persecution and exile in the Low Countries, presents in dialogue form a Stoicism compatible with Christianity: constancy is a strength of mind grounded in reason, not in opinion; public evils are borne by recognising providence and necessity, not escaped by flight. In the “Manuductio” and “Physiologia Stoicorum” (both 1604) he gave the first systematic modern account of Stoic ethics and physics. His “Six Books of Politics” (1589), composed largely of ancient quotations, advised rulers to join virtue with prudence, to maintain a disciplined army and to preserve one public religion; in Book IV he admitted a “mixed prudence” with some deceit in the interest of the state, in dialogue with Tacitus and Machiavelli. The book was translated into many languages and influenced the theory of the early modern state; his demand for religious unity was attacked by Dirck Volckertsz Coornhert as a licence for persecution. Historians such as Gerhard Oestreich have linked Neostoicism with military discipline and the formation of the modern state.
生平与背景
Justus Lipsius (Joost Lips) was born on 18 October 1547 in Overijse near Brussels. He was educated by the Jesuits in Cologne and at the University of Leuven, and then spent two years in Rome as Latin secretary to Cardinal Granvelle, studying inscriptions and manuscripts. During the Dutch Revolt and the wars of religion he moved between confessions and universities: Jena (1572–74, Lutheran), Leiden (1578–91, Calvinist), where he was one of the leading professors of the young university, and from 1592 Leuven again, where he returned to the Catholic church and held the chair of Latin and history until his death. His editions of Tacitus (1574) and Seneca (1605) set new standards, and his letters made him a centre of the European republic of letters. He died in Leuven on 23 March 1606.
