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, though the term had been used by Marko Marulic at least 66 years earlier.
Gockel had extensive backing, and made significant contributions to the field of ontology.He extended the development of many ideas from Aristotle.
Several of Gockel's ideas were published and built upon by later philosophers.
