Robert Fludd (1574-1637) was a British physician, author, and mystic who is most remembered for his occult opposition to science. He felt that medicine's role was to grasp the functioning and malfunctioning of the human body revealed by parallelisms between the mind of man and the light of the Sun, astrology, and numerology, among other things. Fludd was widely criticized during his time for his occult beliefs.
