Although you could also argue that it does seek to gain converts as well as cure the sick. So it might be viewed as a twin-track approach. However, it is also true that theory cannot be ignored and is still a very important element. It must be yoked in with method. Indeed, you can easily take the opposing view, that without an underlying philosophy, method is just shooting in the dark.
Theory tends to keep method pure and 'on track'.
If you ditch theory then method tends to degenerate into allopathised mongrel forms. If you ditch method then theory tends to ossify into dogma. Both are necessary and complement each other. The ideology of homeopathy is highly relevant to its method, but the two work best together. The main concepts of homeopathy are both theories and methods at the same time.
