1777 RARE System of Nature Paul Holbach Philosophy Atheism Materialism French

 

“The most comprehensive description of materialism and atheism in the entire history of philosophy!” (Will Durant)

 

Paul-Henri Holbach was an 18^th-century French philosopher known for his atheistic views and theories of laws of nature. His most popular book was ‘System of Nature’, a work in which Holbach vehemently opposed and ridiculed formal religion and described the world in the terms of materialism.

 

‘System’ was polarizing in many ways and had an effect on many prominent literary and philosophical figures. Voltaire was known to have refuted ‘System’ and Frederick the Great even commented on the book because of Holbach’s attacks on monarchial government.
