Arnold Geulincx (January 31, 1624 - November 1669), Flemish philosopher and logician. Prof at a University of Louvain, Belgium for 12 years, & late prof at a University of Leiden, Holland. Geulincx wrote wholly his works inside Latin, and died prior to his main books, viz. Ethica & Metaphysica can be published. He summerized his philosophy when "Ita est, ergo ita sit", he believed around the "pre-established harmony," but not when Leibniz who 25 years when his demise claimed such an idea to exist as a "best of all possible worlds." Like Geulincx intended that it was sufficient for what he saw as a humanity far from either perfection.
