CLAUBERG, JOHANN. - Calvinist, b. in 1622 at Solingen (Westphalia), professor of philosophy at Herborn, then at Duisburg, where he d. in 1665. He was the first to spread Cartesian philosophy in Germany, which he sought to connect with the Platonic tradition. On the problem of the origin of ideas he professed a certain occasionalism: the movements of our body are merely "causae procatarcticae" which give the spirit the occasion to produce the ideas that it always possesses virtually within itself.
