Very good.<br/> <br/> Paul-Henri Dietrich Thiery d'Holbach 1723-1789 the foremost exponent of atheistic materialism and the most intransigent polemicist against religion in the Enlightenment. Holbach had associated with the younger philosopher who with Diderot d'Alembert and Rousseau were grouping around the Encyclopédie to which he also became a major contributor. His Salon soon became the main social center and a sort of intellectual headquarters for the Encyclopedist movement. Almost everything he wrote -whether because it expounded atheism and materialism attacked Christianity or castigated absolute monarchy the state church and feudal privilege. Consequently his innumerable manuscripts were usually forwarded through secret channels to Holland for publication after which the books were smuggled back into France.

177436999à Londres London Amsterdam: S. n. Marc Michel Rey 1774. Fine. S. n. Marc Michel Rey à Londres London Amsterdam 1774 12.50 x 19.50 cm relié Rare and interesting gathering of these two works. New edition of the Système de la nature after the rare first edition of 1770 and first edition of Helvetius's work at the same date of 1774 as this new edition of Mirabaud; in reality three editions appeared at the same date with different collation without being able to determine if there is a true first edition. Contemporary full marbled sheep binding. Richly decorated smooth spine. Red morocco title label and black morocco volume label. Red edges. Tail headcaps torn away. A brown stain on the upper board of volume I. Restoration using a piece of leather on the upper board of volume II. Fairly good copy. Helvetius's work is an exegesis and examination of the Système de la nature the author seems to have condensed the material in the form of maxims and assertions all resting on a strong materialist creed. We now know that the work may not be by Helvetius although we recognize his philosophy in it. As for Mirabaud's Système de la nature it was received like a bombshell in literary circles and ultimately quite poorly received by the philosophers. It was not d'Holbach's openly materialist theses that were condemned but the demonstration of atheism and anticlericalism. S. n.[ Marc Michel Rey] hardcover

The System of Nature or of the Laws of the Physical World and the Moral World is a work of philosophy written by Paul-Henri Thiry the Baron d' Holbach 1723-1789. From 1744 to 1748 Holbach studied law and natural sciences and languages at the University. The European intellectual world frequented his Paris salon and his country estate Grandval including Rousseau Helvetius David Hume Garrick Melchior Grimm and above all Diderot whose Encyclopédie Holbach helped finance and for which he wrote at least 400 articles. He also translated German-language works on glassmaking mineralogy and metallurgy into French. It was originally published in French under the name of Jean-Baptiste de Mirabaud a late member of the French Academy of Sciences. D'Holbach wrote and published this book anonymously possibly with the help of Diderot in 1770. Holbach describes the universe in terms of the principles of philosophical materialism: 1 the mind is identified with the brain 2 there is no "soul" without a body alive 3 the world is governed by strict deterministic laws 4 free will is an illusion and 4 there are no final causes as everything happens inexorably. Notably Holbach explicitly denies the existence of God arguing that belief in a higher being is the product of fear ignorance and anthropomorphism. From 1760 onwards Holbach primarily concerned himself with criticism of religion and developed his ideas about it in his main work Système de la nature ou des loix du monde physique et du monde moral 2 vols. 1770; German 1783 published under a pseudonym and with a fictitious place of publication ideal society. The work in which he advocated a materialistically based atheism was banned by the authorities burned publicly and met with harsh criticism from Voltaire Frederick II and Goethe. . Typografia de A.S.
