Londres, 1793. 2 volúmenes. En 4º (200 x 124)mm. -I: viii-304 pp. -II: 374 pp., (1) h. Encuadernación en holandesa de la época, lomera con adornos dorados. Buena edición de la más importante y polémica obra de este insigne autor, el Barón de Holbach, nacido en Alemania y educado en la Universidad de Leiden. Este gran científico contribuyó con más de mil artículos en la Enciclopedia de Diderot; gran amigo y compañero de éste, Alambert, Helvetius, Voltaire y otros filósofos y pensadores franceses de la Ilustración. Pronto deja la ciencia y se adentra en un campo más peligroso: escribe una serie de libros atacando la religión en todos sus aspectos. No podía utilizar su nombre al publicarlos, así utiliza el nombre de autores franceses recientemente fallecidos. En 1770 se publica la primera edición del "Systeme de la Nature", su mejor obra, donde aparece bajo el nombre de Jean Baptiste Mirabaud. Aquí no sólo critica el poder de la Iglesia, sino el sentido mismo de la religión, haciendo una verdadera "philipica contra Dios". La primera edición se publicó en 1770; en ella Holbach expone completa su teoría del materialismo. Obra de gran estima. Procedencia: 1. Librairie Bonzom, Bayona. 2. Librería de J. Jiménez, Madrid Early edition of Holbach's most famous work, the bible of materialism. Published under a pseudonym, this book immediately attracted the most violent hostility from the establishment, and was banned by the French parliament shortly after publication. This "philippique against God" was going far beyond the questioning of the Church's worldly power; no room for any supernatural contribution was left in what soon became known as a thundering engine of revolt and destruction. 200x124mm. (7¾x5").

"En este trabajo, Holbach expone una completa teoría del materialismo, rechazando el dualismo cartesiano mente-cuerpo e intentando explicar cualquier fenómeno, físico o mental, en términos de materia en movimiento.".

Hardcover. Zustand: 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.

London, 1774. 8vo. 2 volumes uniformly bound in contemporary half calf with gilt ornamentation to spine. Spines with wear of boards miscoloured. Internally fine and clean. (16) 397 pp." (4), 500, (3) pp. Wanting the frontispiece. Later edition, published four years after the original, comprising "The System of Nature" - one of the most important works of natural philosophy ever written and the work that is considered the main work of materialism - and "The Social System", being d'Holbach's seminal "social" and political continuation of that groundbreaking work. D'Holbach (1723-1789), who was raised by a wealthy uncle, whom he inherited, together with his title of Baron, in 1753, maintained one of the most famous salons in Paris. This salon became the social and intellectual centre for the Encyclopédie, which was edited by Diderot and d'Alembert, whom he became closely connected with. D'Holbach himself also contributed decisively to the Encyclopédie, with at least 400 signed contributions, and probably as many unsigned, between 1752 and 1765. The "Côterie holbachique" or "the café of Europe", as the salon was known, attracted the most brilliant scientists, philosophers, writers and artists of the time (e.g. Diderot, d'Alembert, Helvetius, Voltaire, Hume, Sterne etc, etc.), and it became one of the most important gathering-places for the exchange of philosophical, scientific and political views under the "ancient régime". Apart from developing several foundational theories of seminal scientific and philosophical value, D'Holbach became known as one of the most skilled propagators and popularizers of scientific and philosophical ideas, promoting scientific progress and spreading philosophical ideas in a new and highly effective manner. As the theories of d'Holbach's two systematic works were at least as anticlerical and unaccepted as those of his smaller tracts, and on top of that so well presented and so convincing, it would have been dangerous for him to print any of them under his own name, and even under the name of the city or printer. Thus, "Systême de la Nature" appeared pseudonomously under the name of the secretary of the Académie Francaise, J.B. Mirabaud, who had died 10 years earlier, and under a fictive place of printing, namely London instead of Amsterdam. "He could not publish safely under his own name, but 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 Jean-Baptiste Mirabaud" (PMM 215), and so the next "System" also appeared in the same manner three years later. D'Holbach was himself the most audacious philosophe of this circle. During the 1760's he caused numerous anticlerical tracts (written in large, but not entirely, by himself) to be clandestinely printed abroad and illegally circulated in France. His philosophical masterpiece, the "Système de la nature, ou des lois du monde physique et du monde moral", a methodological and intransigent affirmation of materialism and atheism, appeared anonymously in 1770" (D.S.B. VI:468), as did the social and political follow-up of it, the famous "Systême social" in 1773. That is to say, Mirabeau whom he had used as the author on the "System of Nature" in 1770 is not mentioned in the "Social System", on the title-page of which is merely stated "By the Author of "Systême de la Nature". In his main work, the monumental "Système de la Nature", d'Holbach presented that which was to become one of the most influential philosophical theories of the time, combined with and based on a complex of advanced scientific thought. He postulated materialism, and that on the basis of science and empiricism, on the basis of his elaborate picture of the universe as a self-created and self-creating entity that is constituted by material elements that each possess specific energies. He concludes, on the basis of empiricism and the positive truths that the science of his time had attained, that ideas such as God, immortality, creation etc. must be either contradictory or futile, and as such, his materialism naturally also propounded atheism" his theory of the universe showed that nature is the product of matter (eternally in motion and arranged in accordance with mechanical laws), and that reality is nothing but nature. Thus, having in his "Systême de la Nature" presented philosophical materialism in an actual system for the first time and having created a work that dared unite the essence of all the essential material of the English and French Enlightenment and incorporate it into a closed materialistic system, d'Holbach had provided the modern world with a moral and ethic philosophy, the effects of which were tremendous. It is this materialism and atheism that he continues three years later in his next systematic work "Systême social", through which politics, morality, and sociology are also incorporated into his system and take the place of the Christianity that he had so fiercely attacked earlier on. In this great work he extends his ethical views to the state and continues the description of human interest from "Systême de la Nature" by developing a notion of the just state (by d'Holbach called "ethocracy") that is to secure general welfare. "Système social (1773" "Social System") placed morality and politics in a utilitarian framework wherein duty became prudent self-interest." (Encyclopaedia Brittanica). "Holbach's foundational view is that the most valuable thing a person seeking self-preservation can do is to unite with another person: "Man is of all beings the most necessary to man" (Sysème social, 76" cf. Spinoza's Ethics IVP35C1, C2, and S). Society, when it is just, unites for the common purpose of preservation and the securing of welfare, and society contracts with government for this purpose." (SEP). Both works had a sensational impact. For the first time, philosophical materialism is presented in an actual system, and with the secon.

2 Teile in 2 vol. 8°. 1 w. Bl., 8, Bl., 379 S., 2 w. Bl.; 2 Bl., 412 S., 1 w. Bl., altmarmorierte Vorsätze. Dunkelrote Maroquin-Bände der Zeit mit goldgepr. Rückentiteln, Bandnummern und Motiven, dreifacher Deckelflietierung mit Eckfleurons, Steh- und Innenkantenvergoldung, Ganzgoldschnitt. Erste Ausgabe des führenden Werkes der Aufklärung über den Materialismus. Der deutschstämmige Holbach, der mit rund 400 Artikeln einer der eifrigsten Förderer der Enzyklopädie war, hat mit seinem Natursystem, neben La Mettrie und Helvétius, die konsequenteste und extremste Darstellung des Materialismus vorgelegt. Alle Phänomene, die körperliche wie die geistige, werden auf Materie und Bewegung zurückgeführt. Auf dieser materalistischen Grundthese baut er ein Moralsystem auf. Sein Werk wurde schnell berühmt. Voltaire kritisierte Holbachs Meisterwerk in seinem Artikel über Gott in den 'Questions sur l'Encyclopédie. Auch dem aufgeklärten König von Preussen ging diese Schrift zu weit. Friedrich, der sich von dem theoretischen Anti-Machiavelisten der Kronprinzenzeit zum praktischen Machiavelisten gewandelt hatte, wandte sich in seiner 'Kritik des Systems der Natur' gegen den politischen Radikalismus Holbachs, die Ablehnung der monarchistischen Staatsform. Aus Zensurgründen waren der Druckort London und der Verfasser Mirabaud fingiert. Das aus Holland eingeschmuggelte Werk fand in Frankreich sofort grossen Absatz und wurde prompt wegen seiner eindeutigen Ablehnung der Religion und des Absolutismus vom Pariser Parlament verboten. Als «Bibel des Materialismus» wurde das Werk auf den Index gesetzt. - Die 4 Seiten Errata für beide Bände in Band 1 eingebunden und nochmals lose Band 2 beigegeben. - (Die Buchdeckel mit schwacher Verfärbung. Vorsätze schwach wasserfleckig. Obere Seitenränder durchgehen etwas gebräunt, vereinzelt sehr schwach wasserrandig). - Edition originale (premier tirage) du fameux chef-d'oeuvre du 'Philosophie de la Nature'. Ce classique de la libre pensée, dit la «Bible du Matérialisme», le plus radical dans conception mécaniste du cosmos et de l'humaine sans Dieu, fut publié à Amsterdam sous le pseudonyme de J.B. Mirabaud, mort dix ans plus tôt. Tous les ouvrages philosophiques du baron d'Holbach étaient imprimés secrètment en Hollande par l'editeur Rey et paraissaient sans qie ses a,os mêmes ne se doutassent qu'il en fut l'auteur. L'ouvrage connut immédiatement un très grand succès. Le Parlement de Paris le condamna au feu et l'Eglise le mit à l'index. Voltaire critiqua 'Le Système' à l'article 'Dieu de ses Questions sur l'Encyclopédie'. 'Frédéric, bien qu'ila ait aimé le matérialisme cynique de La Mettrie, acceuillit avec une grande réserve l'ouvrage d'Holbach dont il réfuta l'attaque de l'absolutisme et de l'Eglise en tant qu'institution dans son 'Examen critique du système de la nature'.
