A way to this teaching was an equation made in Physiologia Stoicorum between fate (fortuna) and divine providence.[26] The intended sense of "constancy" in Lipsius is "calm acceptance of the inevitable."[27] But in fact in De Constantia Lipsius follows Boethius (Consolations of Philosophy Book IV) and later Christian teachings to distinguish between divine providence and fate, the prima causa in nature.[28] Lipsius there argued for fate as a by-product of divine providence, and for free will.[29] Maurice De Wulf writing in his Histoire de la philosophie médiévale (1900) took the view that Lipsius was an erudite rather than a philosopher, founded no school, and had few disciples, mentioning only Caspar Schoppe.[32] In contrast Richard Tuck described (1993) the effort of Benito Arias Montano, a Familist collaborator of Plantin and long-term friend and correspondent of Lipsius, as influencing in Spain Pedro de Valencia and engaged in theoretical work to go beyond the "Stoicism and scepticism of the Lipsian circle".[33] ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-6854.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-6854.txt
