""Systeme Social V1-3: Ou Principes Naturels De La Morale Et De La Politique, Avec Un Examen De L�������Influence Du Gouvernement Sur Les Moeurs"" is a book written in French by Paul Henri Thiry d'Holbach and published in 1773. The title translates to ""Social System V1-3: Or Natural Principles of Morality and Politics, With an Examination of the Influence of Government on Manners."" The book is a comprehensive treatise on social and political philosophy, exploring the natural principles that govern human behavior and the role of government in shaping society. Holbach argues that morality and politics are inseparable, and that the principles of justice and equality must be upheld in order to create a just and prosperous society. The book is divided into three volumes, each focusing on a different aspect of social and political philosophy. The first volume examines the nature of morality and its relationship to human nature, arguing that moral principles are not divinely ordained but rather arise from human reason and experience. The second volume explores the role of government in shaping society, arguing that the state has a duty to promote the common good and protect the rights of its citizens. The third volume examines the influence of government on the manners and customs of society, arguing that the state has a profound impact on the moral character of its citizens. Overall, ""Systeme Social V1-3"" is a groundbreaking work of social and political philosophy that continues to be studied and debated by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
