Publisher's Synopsis
The System Of Nature: Or Laws Of The Moral And Physical World is a philosophical treatise written by Baron Holbach in the 18th century. The book presents a comprehensive analysis of the universe and its workings, arguing that everything can be explained through the laws of nature and that there is no need for supernatural or divine intervention. Holbach argues that humans are not free agents but are determined by the laws of nature and that morality is a product of social conventions rather than divine commandments. He also critiques religion, arguing that it is a source of superstition and that it has been used to control and manipulate people throughout history. The book is divided into three parts: the first part discusses the principles of the physical world, the second part examines the principles of the moral world, and the third part discusses the relationship between the physical and moral worlds. Overall, The System Of Nature is a groundbreaking work of philosophy that challenges traditional beliefs and offers a rational and scientific explanation of the universe. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of philosophy and the development of modern thought.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1889 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
