Guelincx (1624-1669) is known as the one who laid the foundations for a modern theory of Occasionalism. He also belongs to a group of philosophers for whom the reference point was R. Descartes' system. However, in this paper we will concentrate neither on the theory of Occasionalism (even though we might mention it) nor inspirations by Descartes (even though they will, of course, arise). We will consider Guelincx's answer to the question: who am I?
