See also:CLAUBERG, JOHANN (1622-1665) , See also:German philosopher, was See also:born at See also:Solingen, in See also:Westphalia, on the 24th of See also:February 1622. After travelling in See also:France and See also:England, he studied the Cartesian See also:philosophy under See also:John Raey at See also:Leiden. He became (1649) See also:professor of philosophy and See also:theology at Herborn, but subsequently (1651), in consequence of the See also:jealousy of his colleagues, accepted an invitation to a similar See also:post at See also:Duisburg, where he died on the 31st of See also:January 1665. Clauberg was one of the earliest teachers of the new doctrines in See also:Germany and an exact and methodical commentator on his See also:master's writings. His theory of the connexion between the soul and the See also:body is in some respects analogous to that of See also:Malebranche; but he is not therefore to be regarded as a true forerunner of See also:Occasionalism, as he uses " Occasion " for the stimulus which directly produces a See also:mental phenomenon, without postulating the intervention of See also:God (H.

Muller, J. Clauberg and See also:seine Stellung See also:im Cartesianismus). His view of the relation of God to his creatures is held to foreshadow the See also:pantheism of See also:Spinoza. All creatures exist only through the continuous creative See also:energy of the Divine Being, and are no more See also:independent of his will than are our thoughts independent of us,—or rather less, for there are thoughts which force themselves upon us whether we will or not. For See also:metaphysics Clauberg suggested the names ontosophy or See also:ontology, the latter being afterwards adopted by See also:Wolff. He also devoted considerable See also:attention to the German See also:languages, and his re-searches in this direction attracted the favourable See also:notice of See also:Leibnitz. His See also:chief See also:works are: De conjunctione animae et corporis humani; Exercitationes centum de cognitione Dei et nostri; Logica vetus et nova; Initiatio philosophi, seu Dubitatio Cartesiana; a commentary on See also:Descartes' Meditations; and Ars etymologica Teutonum.
A collected edition of his philosophical works was published at See also:Amsterdam (1691), with See also:life by H. C. Hennin; see also E. See also:Zeller, Geschichte der deutschen Philosophic seit Leibnitz (1893).
