Rudolph Goclenius the Elder (Latin: Rudolphus Goclenius; born Rudolf Gockel or Göckel; 1 March 1547 – 8 June 1628) was a German scholastic philosopher.
Gockel is often credited with coining the term "psychology" in 1590, but the term was used by Marko Marulic at least 66 years earlier.
Gockel also had extensive backing and significant contributions to the field of ontology.
He extended on many ideas from Aristotle, such as both the introduction of ontology and metaphysics.
Several of Gockel’s ideas were published and built upon by later philosophers.
