LIPSIANER (Lipsius Society)

LIPSIANER, or the Lipsius Society, was a European intellectual circle named after the 16th-century scholar Justus Lipsius. Formed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it brought together scholars interested in classical philosophy, humanism, and cultural studies. The society aimed to promote the study of ancient texts, foster cultural exchange, and explore the moral and philosophical ideas of antiquity. Its members engaged in scholarly discussions and publications, contributing to the revival of classical learning during that period. Overall, LIPSIANER served as a platform for fostering intellectual dialogue centered on antiquity and its relevance to contemporary thought.
