The System Of Nature V1 - Baron D'Holbach - Bog

Bag om The System Of Nature V1

The System of Nature, Volume 1 is a philosophical work written by Baron d'Holbach in the 18th century. The book is a comprehensive critique of religion, arguing that the universe is governed by natural laws and that there is no need for a supernatural deity. The author argues that everything in the world can be explained through natural causes and that there is no evidence for the existence of an omnipotent being. The book also explores the nature of human beings, arguing that they are purely physical beings and that there is no such thing as a soul or free will. The author also critiques the social and political systems of his time, arguing for the importance of reason and individual freedom. The System of Nature is a seminal work in the history of philosophy and is still widely discussed and debated today.In what experimental philosophers have styled the THREE ORDERS OF NATURE, that is to say, the mineral, the vegetable, and animal worlds, they have established, by the aid of motion, a transmigration, an exchange, a continual circulation in the particles of matter. Nature has occasion in one place, for those particles which, for a time, she has placed in another. These particles, after having, by particular combinations, constituted beings endued with peculiar essences, with specific properties, with determinate modes of action, dissolve and separate with more or less facility; and combining in a new manner, they form new beings.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
