Justus Lipsius' De Constantia (1584) is one of the most important
and interesting of sixteenth century Humanist texts. A dialogue in
two books, conceived as a philosophical consolation for those
suffering through contemporary religious wars, De Constantia proved
immensely popular in its day and formed the inspiration for what
has become known as 'Neo-stoicism'. This movement advocated the
revival of Stoic ethics in a form that would be palatable to a
Christian audience. In De Constantia Lipsius deploys Stoic
arguments concerning appropriate attitudes towards emotions and
external events. He also makes clear which parts of stoic
philosophy must be rejected, including its materialism and its
determinism. De Constantia was translated into a number of
vernacular languages soon after its original publication in Latin.
Of the English translations that were made, that by Sir John
Stradling (1595) became a classic; it was last reprinted in 1939.
The present edition offers a lightly revised version of Stradling's
translation, updated for modern readers, along with a new
introduction, notes and bibliography.
