Relation
John Locke, "Of Identity and Diversity"
Locke's explanation of the various ways we think and make implications of the world around us can be a great perspective to reveal how humans practiced medicine. Sydenham did not believe it was religiously acceptable to use microbiology to cure diseases; for him, God only allowed people to observe outer appearances. Locke's sentence "We have the ideas but of three sorts of substances: 1.GOD. 2. FINITE INTELLIGENCES. 3. BODIES." throws light to this reasoning.
