Published by Leipzig, Georg Wigand 1841., 1841
Zweite dt. Ausgabe von Holbachs Hauptwerk "Système de la nature ou Des lois du monde physique et du monde moral". P. H. T. v. Holbach (1723-1789) war ein Philosoph der Aufklärung, Enzyklopädist u. Naturwissenschaftler. - Berühmt wurde H. durch seine vorliegende, franz. erstmals 1770 erschienene Arbeit, die zum Hauptwerk des französischen Materialismus im 18. Jh. wurde ( Bibel des Materialismus?). Auf La Mettrie (Materialismus), Condillac (Sensualimus) und Helvétius (sittliches Prinzip der Selbstliebe) fußend, stellt es eine umfassende atheistisch-materialistische Aufklärungsphilosophie dar, die die »Irrtümer der Metaphysik« aufdecken und eine natürliche, vernünftige Moral begründen will. Demnach besteht die Wirklichkeit ausschließlich aus der Natur, die eine selbstgeschaffene, ewige Materie und ihre unter dem Gesetz der mechanischen Notwendigkeit stehende Bewegung bildet (vgl. dazu Bautz, Kirchenlex. XV, 716-726). Ueberweg III,427; Ziegenfuß I,548. gr.-8°. 604 S., neuer Halblederband auf 5 Blindbünden, Rückenschild, Lederecken. Im Text etwas stockfleckig.

First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: g- to vg. Ex-Library, Nouvelle edition. Octavos. Vol.1: 400pp. Vol.2: 448pp. Period brown calf with gilt ruling along the edges of the covers and gilt tooling on the spine. Gilt lettering over red and black labels on the spine. A small stamp of "The John Crerar Library" in gilt lettering is at the bottom left corners of the front covers. All edges gilt, detelles and marbled endpapers. Green ribbon markers. This is a beautifully bound early edition of Holbach's influential enlightenment-era philosophical work, originally and famously attributed to Jean-Baptiste de Mirabaud. The back of volume 2 contains a limited table of contents. Among the ideas espoused are that those philosophical materialism, claiming that the universe works as matter in motion, governed by the laws of cause and effect, without need for any sort of deity or supernatural power. Holbach denies the existence of any sort of soul beyond the mind's existence as an function of the brain. The author also discusses the distinction between mythology and theology. Holbach's challenge to religious and social beliefs systems from a moral perspective was seen as an affront to the organized religious power structures and the monarchy, and was the cause for many written reponses in the form of refutations and polemics in its day. The work is known one of the earliest works of modern atheism. Some scholar's believe that Denis Diderot, the enlightenment philosopher and close friend of Holbach, was influential on the work, and may have even contributed in part, to the writing. Text in French. Bindings with rubbing to extremities. Leather on the covers and on the hinges of the spines with some cracking. Gilt decoration on the spines rubbed. The spine of volume 2 is loosening at the hinge. Light chipping to the heads and tails of the spines. Interiors with library bookplates and pockets pasted on at the interior front and back covers. Library ink stamps on the front endpapers of each volume, as well as perforated stamps at the top of the title page and on p.207 of vol.1, and at p. 253 of vol.2. Minor sporadic foxing throughout the volumes. Bindings in good-, interiors in very good condition overall. * The book is known to have actually been published in Amsterdam, contrary to being printed as "Londres" (London). * The final "V" on the publication date in both volumes, seems to have been purposely removed at some point, in order to pass this copy off as an original 1770 first edition.

Book First Edition
FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE OF "THE BIBLE OF MATERIALISM" (PMM, 215). 2 vols. 8vo. (20 x 12.5 cm). Half-title, Table des chapitres [2], title, Avis de l'editeur [2], Préface de l'auteur [4]+pp.370; title, Table des chapitres [2]+pp.412. Contemporary full mottled calf, spines decorated in gilt, two brown morocco labels (vol. 1 missing one label), decorative navy blue chequered endpapers, pink silk ribbon page markers, red speckled edges. Joints slightly cracked (but strong) and with some minor losses, spines rubbed, contents clean save for some occasional light toning, generally a very good unsophisticated set of this major philosophical work. The rare first edition, first issue (with the correct pagination, the comma after 'Londres' in the imprint', and without the 4-page errata which was added later during the printing process as mistakes were discovered), of d'Holbach's main work, the main work of materialism, and one of the most important works of natural philosophy. Paul Heinrich Dietrich, Baron d'Holbach, was born at Heidelsheim in Germany and educated in Holland at Leiden University, before settling in Paris and becoming a naturalized Frenchman. He first became known as a scientist and contributed some four hundred articles to the Encyclopédie of his lifelong friend and colleague Denis Diderot. Diderot, d'Alembert, Helvetius, Voltaire and others of the philosophes met frequently for dinner and philosophical discussions at the Baron's house, which became known as 'the café of Europe' (among foreign visitors to these dinners were Wilkes, Hume and Sterne). Later Holbach turned from science to more dangerous topics: he wrote, and had published abroad, a stream of books attacking religion in all its aspects, which flooded illegally into France. He could not publish safely under his own name, but had had the ingenious idea of using the names of recently dead French authors. Thus, in 1770, his most famous book, 'The System of Nature', appeared under the name of Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud. When it reached France it provoked one of the greatest scandals of the century, being immediately condemned on the 18th of August, 1770, and put on the Index the 9th of November. "In the Système Holbach rejected the Cartesian mind-body dualism and attempted to explain all phenomena, physical and mental, in terms of matter in motion. He derived the moral and intellectual faculties from man's sensibility to impressions made by the external world, and saw human actions as entirely determined by pleasure and pain. He continued to direct his attack on religion by attempting to show that it derived entirely from habit and custom. But the Système was not a negative or destructive book: Holbach rejected religion because he saw it as a wholly harmful influence, and he tried to supply a more desirable alternative. In fact he outlined a whole ethical and political philosophy, which he expanded in his later works (especially La Morale Universelle, 1776). It was his aim to derive a morality and an ethic from a completely materialistic and atheistic bias.the confident dogmatism and the comprehensiveness of the Systême de la Nature , which even provoked Voltaire to reply in defence of religion, have ensured its survival as the bible of materialism" (PMM 215).
