GEULINCX, (–), one of the most distinguished of the earlier, was at  in. Few details are known with regard to his life, and his more important works are extremely rare. He  and  at the  of, and took there the  of. For twelve he continued at the  as, and was noted as one of the most successful. For what reason he left is quite uncertain, but he seems to have been obliged to fly from and to take refuge in, where he appears to have been in the utmost distress. Only the generous assistance of a friend, by Heidanus, prevented his  from absolute want of means. At he entered the, having been previously a , and it has been supposed that his ﬂight from  was due to doubts excited there as to his. This, however, is merely conjecture. In, through his friend Heidanus, he obtained leave to at , and devoted himself with the utmost zeal to his new duties. He in. His most important works were posthumously. During his lifetime there seem to have been made public only the which he defended on  at  (Saturnalia, seu quæstiones quodlibeticæ in utramque partem disputatæ, 2d ed. ). The Metaphysica vera,, and the Γνῶθι σεαυτόν, sive Ethica, post tristia auctoris fata,  (first part, ), are the  by which he is known in the  of. In addition to these were Physica Vera, Logica restituta, and Annotata in Principia Philosophiæ R. Cartesii. Geulincx takes up principally the, left in an obscure and unsatisfactory state by , of the relation between and. and, the s of ual and , are absolutely distinct, and cannot act upon one another. External facts are not the causes of, nor are the causes of physical facts. So far as the is concerned, we are merely spectators. The influence we seem by to exercise over  is only apparent;  and action only accompany one another. I cannot be the author of any state of which I am, for my very is ; but I am not  of the  by which  is produced, hence I am not the author of. and are like two s which act together, because at each instant they are adjusted by. A physical occurrence is but the occasion on which excites in me a corresponding. Geulincx is thus definitely the originator of the called. But the s on which was founded compelled a further advance. , who is the cause of the concomitance of and  facts, is in  the sole cause in the. No fact contains in itself the ground of any other; the of the facts is due to, their sequence and co- are also due to. is the ground of all that is. My s or s and my s are thus the s, s, or s of.

All these are regarded by Geulincx as modes of the  and, and accordingly the end of  endeavour is the end of  , or the realization of. The of right  is the supreme, whence flow the , , , , and. is to ; nemo servit qui rationi servit. Geulincx has not directly touched the problem which evidently must have caused the greatest difficulty to the ,—how we extended ,—though he plainly indicates the opinion that we do not it, but have the  of it from. He thus carried out to their extreme consequences the irreconcilable elements in the, and his works have the peculiar value attaching to the vigorous development of a one-sided. The abrupt contradictions to which such development leads of necessity compels revision of the itself.

GEYSERS,, or , are s of a peculiar construction, in virtue of which they shoot up into the , at more or less regular intervals of , a column of ed and  or of. Those of have been known at least from  of Saxo Grammaticus, who briefly mentions them in his Danorum regum historiæ; but no satisfactory explanation of the phenomena was advanced till near the, when  brought his  and power of investigation to bear on the subject. Sir George Mackenzie, in his Travels in Iceland,, had as follows:—“Let us suppose a  C (ﬁg.1),  with the pipe PQ, filled with ing  to the height AB, and that the  above this line is conﬁned so that it sustains the  to the height P. If we suppose a sudden addition of  to be applied under the  C, a quantity of  will be produced which, owing to the great , will be evolved in starts causing the s like discharges of , and the shaking of the .” He admitted that even to his own mind this could be only a partial explanation of the facts of the case, and that he was unable to account for the frequent and periodical production of the necessary ; but he has the credit of hitting on what is certainly the proximate cause—the sudden evolution of. By ’s the whole difficulty is solved, as is beautifully demonstrated by the artificial geyser designed by  of
