Clean unmarked pages. <br> Nicolas Antoine Boulanger was an Enlightenment French philosopher cartographer and engineer. Boulanger had some fluency in Latin Greek Hebrew Syriac Chaldean and Arabic. Intended as an introduction and key to Montesquieu's L'Esprit des Loix Boulanger's theological-political treatise was edited and first published posthumously in 1761 by the Baron d'Holbach. This his most famous work Research into the Origins of Oriental Despotism speculates on the origin of human societies. The main theme described aptly by Paul Sadrin is that "Man after escaping the Flood was terrified.Everything was gradually spoiled by forgetfulness and imposture - the forgetfulness of most men and the imposture of a few leaders. Religion which had only been the memory of the disaster and the commemoration of the "renewed world" became the Revelation." This was in Boulanger's eyes the worst of crimes as the Revelation deprives man of his humanity and gives birth to the cruelest of despotisms the theocratic regime of which God is the monarch and the monarch is God.What matters to Boulanger is to expose the direct relationship between theocracy and civil despotism." p. 36-37 Sadrin Paul. "NICOLAS-ANTOINE BOULANGER 1722-1759". The Yale University Library Gazette 71.1/2 1996: 3-42. The value to the modern reader is perhaps greater in what it says about how Boulanger and those he influenced thought about how society is constructed and the destruction of freedom within society.

(HOLBACH, P.H.D.TH. D'.)Livre Rare Book

Système de la nature, Ou des loix du monde physique & du monde moral. Par M. Mirabaud. Sécretaire perpétuel, & l'un des quarante de l'Académie Françoise. Nouvelle Édition. Premiere Partie [- Seconde Partie].

15558A Londres, 1781. 2 volumes. (12), 316, pp.; (4), 385, (3) pp. 8vo. Contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt with raised bands, gilt triple fillet on sides, all edges gilt. Vercruysse 1781-A1. This is Holbach's most famous work (and in which he was very likely assisted by Diderot) and expounds a complete theorie of materialism.Holbach contributed some four hundred articles to the Encyclopédie of his lifelong friend and colleague Denis Diderot. Diderot, d'Alembert, Helvetius, Voltaire and others of the philosophes met frequently for dinner and philosophical discussion at the Baron's house, which became known as 'the café of Europe' (among foreign visitors were Wilkes, Hume and Sterne). In the Système Holbach rejected the Cartesian mind-body dualism and attempted to explain all phenomena, physical and mental, in terms of matter in motion. Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence, and he tried to supply a desirable alternative. In fact he outlined a whole ethical and political philosophy, which he expanded in his later works.Holbach may not have been a great original thinker (his important ideas can already be found in predecessors such as Hobbes, Locke and La Mettrie), but by combining various elements in their thought and pressing it to the logical conclusion he reached the most extreme position in eighteenth-century free-thought. In fact, the present book caused a rift in the ranks of the philosophes, dividing them between deists and atheists, and even provoked Voltaire to reply in defense of religion.The pages 339-385 contain l'Abrégé du code de la nature and the Réquisitoire du 18 août 1770. - A very good copy.
