Neostoicism was one of the most important intellectual movements of
the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It started in the
Protestant Netherlands during the revolt against Catholic Spain.
Very quickly it began to influence both the theory and practice of
politics in many parts of Europe. It proved to be particularly
useful and appropriate to the early modern militaristic states;
for, on the basis of the still generally accepted humanistic values
of classical antiquity, it promoted a strong central power in the
state, raised above the conflicting doctrines of the theologians.
Characteristically, a great part of Neostoic writing was concerned
with the nationally organized military institutions of the state.
Its aim was the general improvement of social discipline and the
education of the citizen to both the exercise and acceptance of
bureaucracy, controlled economic life and a large army.
