Clemens Timpler

Metaphysics

Clemens Timpler (1563 to 1624) was a German philosopher, physicist and theologian, born in Stolpen and counted with Jakob Degen as an important Protestant metaphysician who established a Protestant Reformed Neuscholastik. From April 1595 he was professor of physics at the Gymnasium Arnoldinum, a high school in Steinfurt, and he taught there until his death. His unconventional metaphysics, built on the idea of an all-thinkable, led him in his physics to the idea of an experimental vacuum in 1605, which puts him at the forefront of vacuum theory before Evangelista Torricelli in 1644 and Otto von Guericke. His works include the Metaphysicae systema methodicum of 1604, the Physicae systema methodicum of 1605, a general treatise on the nature and differences of the liberal arts, and the Exercitationum philosophicarum sectiones X of 1618, which discusses more than four hundred metaphysical questions.
