• Resumen

  • Gardens were important to the Flemish classicist and neostoic, Justus Lipsius. As we examine the role that the garden played in his reconstruction of Stoic philosophy we shall see that he succeeded in adapting the garden, hitherto the symbol of Epicurean pleasure, to Stoic principles appropriate to the Netherlands in the sixteenth century.
