Johannes Clauberg

German philosopher (1622-1665)

Johannes Clauberg wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Johannes Clauberg as German philosopher (1622-1665).

Johannes Clauberg was born at Solingen in 1622. His recorded nationality is Germany.

This was the century in which philosophy separated itself from theology and began to ask what could be known with certainty.

His academic posts were held at University of Duisburg.

The recorded fields of work are philosophy and theology.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.

That the work was done from Germany matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Johannes Clauberg died in 1665, aged 43. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
