Neostoicism emerged as a significant intellectual movement during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, blending Stoic philosophy with Renaissance humanism. It emphasized rationality, self-control, and the importance of virtue in the face of adversity. The movement influenced various fields, including literature, politics, and ethics, as thinkers sought to reconcile classical Stoic principles with contemporary challenges. Neostoicism's impact can be seen in the works of prominent philosophers and writers of the era, shaping the discourse on morality and human behavior.
