Geulincx, Arnold

Geulincx, Arnold
(1624–1669)
Born in Antwerp, Geulincx studied and taught at Louvain, until in 1658 he was deprived of his chair. Leaving Louvain he settled at Leiden, where he became a Calvinist. He is principally remembered for his occasionalism, or denial of a causal relationship between mind and body, and for using the image of two synchronous clocks, later made famous by Leibniz, to illustrate his doctrine (see pre-established harmony ). But Geulincx requires the constant intervention of God, whereas for Leibniz the harmony is the outcome of the pre-established nature of the related substances. Geulincx also wrote extensively on ethics.
