Publisher's Synopsis
The System of Nature, also known as Laws of the Moral and Physical World, is a philosophical work written by Baron d'Holbach in the 18th century. The book proposes a materialistic and atheistic worldview, arguing that everything in the universe can be explained by natural laws and that there is no need for a supernatural deity. The author argues that human beings are not free but are determined by their environment and circumstances, and that morality is based on self-interest and the pursuit of happiness. The book also critiques religion and traditional morality, arguing that they are based on superstition and fear rather than reason and evidence. The System of Nature was controversial at the time of its publication and was banned in several countries. However, it had a significant influence on the development of modern atheism and materialism, and it remains an important work in the history of philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
