Geulincx summarized his philosophy in the phrase, "Ita est, ergo ita sit", ("it exists, therefore it is so"). He believed in a "pre-established harmony" as a solution to the mind-body problem , dying 25 years before Leibniz 's betterâremembered formulation of the idea. In Leibniz's philosophy, the doctrine of pre-established harmony was linked with optimism, the notion of this world as the "best of all possible worlds". But Geulincx made no such linkage. He is cited by Samuel Beckett , whose character Murphy remembers the 'beautiful Belgo-Latin of Arnold Geulincx', and in particular the gloomy nostrum (frequently repeated by Beckett to inquisitive critics) Ubi nihil vales, ibi nihil velis

Having given offence by his unorthodox views, he left Louvain, and took refuge in Leiden , where he appears to have been in the utmost distress . He entered the Protestant Church , and in 1663, through the influence of his friend Abraham Heidanus, who had assisted him in his greatest need, he obtained a poorly paid lectureship at the university. He died at Leiden in November 1669. His most important works were published posthumously. The Metaphysica vera (1691), and the IvcA vEavrOv, sive Ethica (under the pseudonym "Philaretus," 1675), are the works by which he is chiefly known.

Philosophy Dictionary Arnold Geulincx Geulincx, Arnold (1624-69) 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.

Extractions: SITE MAP Arnold Geulincx was a Flemish Cartesian philosopher who was one of the proponents of occasionalism Originally a Roman Catholic, Geulincx adopted Calvinism in 1658. He taught at Leuven and later at Leiden. His major works, âEthicaâ and âMetaphysica Veraâ, were published posthumously. Arnold Geulincx is best known for his work as an ethicist. His philosophy is characterized by a curious blending of rationalism and mysticism As a devoted Cartesian, Geulincx sought to resolve the dualist's problem of mind-body interaction by appealing to divine intervention as the genuine source of all causation, presaging the occasionalism of Nicolas Malebranche . The coincidence of mental thoughts with bodily motions, he argued, is like the conformity between unconnected but synchronized clocks. According to Geulincx, body and mind cannot affect each other. A person's intention to move his body is merely the occasion on which God, the only real cause, produces the movement. Since minds cannot affect bodies, people cannot control their actions; they can only control their wills. Accordingly, Geulincx's ethics stresses a humbling of the will.
