As an early atheist and critic of the Church Baron d'Holbach was an influential figure in the French Enlightenment. Known for his lavish dinner parties he hosted various intellectuals such as Denis Diderot Charles-Georges Le Roy Jean-François Marmontel abbé Guillame-Thomas-François Raynal and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Holbach's work here heavily influenced by Locke and Hobbes discusses a universal system of ethics and political philosophy based upon the nature of man. Holbach posited that people are concerned with their self-preservation and their own happiness but are ultimately social creatures. Human happiness and self-preservation can be best achieved through altruistic co-operation with others and according to Holbach this co-operation is what motivates the acquiring of virtues. When individuals make this social contract with one another they expect their governing body to function in a utilitarian manner to uphold their basic rights such as a right to property freedom of speech and freedom of religion. When these rights were violated Holbach argues the people have a right to revolution. Volume I discusses a theory of morality volume II the practice of morality and volume III the duties of one's private life. Holbach often published anonymously as his ideas were considered dangerous and contemptible in a time when a humanist theory of morality was seen as anathema in a pre-dominantly Christian western world "Paul-Henry Thiry Holbach" in Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy.

60039Londres Amsterdam: Marc-Michel Rey 1770. FIRST EDITION FIRST ISSUE OF "THE BIBLE OF MATERIALISM" PMM 215. 2 vols. 8vo. 20 x 12.5 cm. Half-title Table des chapitres 2 title Avis de l'editeur 2 Préface de l'auteur 4pp.370; title Table des chapitres 2pp.412. Contemporary full mottled calf spines decorated in gilt two brown morocco labels vol. 1 missing one label decorative navy blue chequered endpapers pink silk ribbon page markers red speckled edges. Joints slightly cracked but strong and with some minor losses spines rubbed contents clean save for some occasional light toning generally a very good unsophisticated set of this major philosophical work. The rare first edition first issue with the correct pagination the comma after 'Londres' in the imprint' and without the 4-page errata which was added later during the printing process as mistakes were discovered of d'Holbach's main work the main work of materialism and one of the most important works of natural philosophy. Paul Heinrich Dietrich Baron d'Holbach was born at Heidelsheim in Germany and educated in Holland at Leiden University before settling in Paris and becoming a naturalized Frenchman. He first became known as a scientist and 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 discussions at the Baron's house which became known as 'the café of Europe' among foreign visitors to these dinners were Wilkes Hume and Sterne. Later Holbach turned from science to more dangerous topics: he wrote and had published abroad a stream of books attacking religion in all its aspects which flooded illegally into France. He could not publish safely under his own name but had had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus in 1770 his most famous book 'The System of Nature' appeared under the name of Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud. When it reached France it provoked one of the greatest scandals of the century being immediately condemned on the 18th of August 1770 and put on the Index the 9th of November. "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. He derived the moral and intellectual faculties from man's sensibility to impressions made by the external world and saw human actions as entirely determined by pleasure and pain. He continued to direct his attack on religion by attempting to show that it derived entirely from habit and custom. But the Système was not a negative or destructive book: Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence and he tried to supply a more desirable alternative. In fact he outlined a whole ethical and political philosophy which he expanded in his later works especially La Morale Universelle 1776. It was his aim to derive a morality and an ethic from a completely materialistic and atheistic bias.the confident dogmatism and the comprehensiveness of the Systême de la Nature which even provoked Voltaire to reply in defence of religion have ensured its survival as the bible of materialism" PMM 215.

Système social ou principes naturels de la morale et de la politique avec un examen de l'influence du gouvernement sur les moeurs. Par l'Auteur du Systême de la Nature Mirabaud. 3 Tomes. - THE SYSTEM OF NATURE CONTINUED. THE SOCIAL SYSTEM

177340375London recte: Amsterdam M.M. Rey 1773. 8vo. Bound in one beautiful contemporary full mottled calf binding with five raised bands to richly gilt spine; triple gilt line-borders to boards and inner gilt dentelles. Edges of boards with single gilt line. All edges gilt. Corners abit bumped and a bit of overall wear. Inner hinges a bit weak. Internally very fine and clean. All in all a very fine copy indeed. 4 210; 176; 167 pp. With all three half-titles all three title-pages and all three indexes as well as the introduction. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition first issue though Tchermerzine mentions an unknown 2-volume-edition form the same year - this edition has never been verified of one of d'Holbach's most important works his influential "social" and political continuation of his seminal main work "Systeme de la nature" - the bible of materialism. D'Holbach 1723-1789 who was raised by a wealthy uncle whom he inherited together with his title of Baron in 1753 maintained one of the most famous salons in Paris. This salon became the social and intellectual centre for the Encyclopédie which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclopédie with at least 400 signed contributions and probably as many unsigned between 1752 and 1765. The "Côterie holbachique" or "the café of Europe" as the salon was known attracted the most brilliant scientists philosophers writers and artists of the time e.g. Diderot d'Alembert Helvetius Voltaire Hume Sterne etc etc. and it became one of the most important gathering-places for the exchange of philosophical scientific and political views under the "ancient régime". Apart from developing several foundational theories of seminal scientific and philosophical value D'Holbach became known as one of the most skilled propagators and popularizers of scientific and philosophical ideas promoting scientific progress and spreading philosophical ideas in a new and highly effective manner. D'Holbach was himself the most audacious philosophe of this circle. During the 1760's he caused numerous anticlerical tracts written in large but not entirely by himself to be clandestinely printed abroad and illegally circulated in France. His philosophical masterpiece the "Système de la nature ou des lois du monde physique et du monde moral" a methodological and intransigent affirmation of materialism and atheism appeared anonymously in 1770" D.S.B. VI:468 as did the social and political follow-up of it the famous "Systême social" in 1773. That is to say Mirabeau whom he had used as the author on the "System of Nature" in 1770 is not mentioned in the "Social System" on the title-page of which is merely stated "By the Author of "Systême de la Nature". As the theories of d'Holbach's two systematic works were at least as anticlerical and unaccepted as those of his smaller tracts and on top of that so well presented and so convincing it would have been dangerous for him to print any of them under his own name and even under the name of the city or printer. Thus "Systême de la Nature" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Académie Francaise J.B. Mirabaud who had died 10 years earlier and under a fictive place of printing namely London instead of Amsterdam. "He could not publish safely under his own name but had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus in 1770 his most famous book "The System of Nature" appeared under the name Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud." PMM 215 and so the next "System" also appeared in the same manner three years later.In his "Systême de la Nature" d'Holbach had presented philosophical materialism in an actual system for the first time and had created a work that dared unite the essence of all the essential material of the English and French Enlightenment and incorporate it into a closed materialistic system; on the basis of a completely materialistic and atheistic foundation he provided the modern world with a moral and ethic philosophy the effects of which were tremendous. It is this materialism and atheism that he continues three years later in his next systematic work "Systême social" through which politics morality and sociology are also incorporated into his system and take the place of the Christianity that he had so fiercely attacked earlier on. In this great work he extends his ethical views to the state and continues the description of human interest from "Systême de la Nature" by developing a notion of the just state by d'Holbach calle "ethocracy" that is to secure general welfare. "Système social 1773; "Social System" placed morality and politics in a utilitarian framework wherein duty became prudent self-interest." Encyclopaedia Brittanica. "Holbach's foundational view is that the most valuable thing a person seeking self-preservation can do is to unite with another person: "Man is of all beings the most necessary to man" Sysème social 76; cf. Spinoza's Ethics IVP35C1 C2 and S. Society when it is just unites for the common purpose of preservation and the securing of welfare and society contracts with government for this purpose." SEP.As the "Systême de la Nature" had been condemned to burning in the year of its publication so the "Systême social" was on the list of books to be confiscated already in 1773 and it was placed on the Index of the Church in August 1775. As the "Systême de la Nature" the "Systême social" is thus also of great scarcity. Another edition of the work appeared later the same year in 12mo. Tchermerzine says that "Il ya une édition que nous ne connaissons pas en 2 vol. in-8. C'est sans doute l'originale." The present edition was reprinted the following year in 1774.Tschermerzine VI:246; Graesse III:317; Barbier IV:622 only listing later editions. </em> hardcover
