Abstract: This paper explores the reconfiguration of diet, appetite and digestion in seventeenth-century chemical medicine. Comparing the writings of two self-styled physician-philosophers, Jan Baptist Van Helmont (1580–1644) and Everard Maynwaring (c. 1629–1713), it considers how subtle differences in their accounts of 'human nature' translated into practice: in Van Helmont鈥檚 case, as a stout rejection of the value of dietetics, and in Maynwaring鈥檚, as an embrace of the same. Ultimately, I argue, Maynwaring chose to modify elements of his Helmontian anthropology rather than abandon his longstanding commitment to diet as the cornerstone of good health.
