A scathing dismissal of the miracles cited in the Bible. Purporting to be a partial translation of the Latin manuscript Theophrastus Redivivus the first systematic atheistic philosophy the text argues that pagans have performed miracles as often as Jews and Christians. The anonymous author cites paranormal events in Greek and Roman mythology as analogous to the miracles of Christian tradition and claims that the existence of oracles and pagan religion after the birth of Christ prove the existence of extra-Christian miraculous power.<br /> <br /> Although the author remains a mystery the text was likely translated and disseminated by Paul Holbach a Franco-German philosopher and atheist.

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.

1776elala1354Amsterdam: March-Michel Rey 1776. 1776. 3 Volumes. 8vo. pp. xii xxiv 152 143-286; 2 p.l. 256; 2 p.l. 283. with half-titles engraved title vignettes. 19th century vellum covers bowed some staining to lower covers & lower margins in Vol. I. First Edition. Holbach was the foremost exponent of atheistic materialism in the Enlightenment. In the Politique Naturelle La Morale Universelle and the Système Sociale Holbach attempted to construct a system of ethical and political values based on mans physical nature and primary needs as the only desirable alternative to the illusory and harmful system predicated on supernatural theology. Happiness is the supreme natural goal of human existence but man is a social animal and Holbachs ethics was based on social utility. "Ethics is the science of human cooperation to promote the well-being of the individual through that of society and it is based on the positive knowledge of mens reciprocal social needs Atheism is the prerequisite of all valid ethical teaching. In place of the condemnation of sin Holbachs exposition of secular and utilitarian ethics is typically accompanied by vibrant appeals to humanitarianism and moving exhortations to civic virtue all in the name of nature and happiness.
