Isaac Newton dedicated a good part of his activity to alchemical experiments. This article tries to discuss the motivations that drove Newton to spend so much of his time in the laboratory: the search for a unitary vision of the forces acting in the macrocosm and in the microcosm, the belief on a hidden "prisca sapientia" in the occult philosophy to be rediscovered with a scientific approach and the dispute with materialistic philosophy.
