This paper wants to show how nature and method play a central role in Sydenham’s medical conception and practice. For this reason, the first part of this study analyzes the nature by two perspectives: metaphysical and epistemological. Clarified this relation, it is possible to trace the characteristics of Sydenham’s clinical method and its peculiarities. Moving from that, the second part gives an account of the physiological conception displayed in curing small-pox, hysteria and hypochondria. A physiological reconstruction that is part of the epistemological conception of nature.
