Description from the seller

A rare revolutionary edition, published anonymously but the work of Baron Paul Henri Thiry d'Holbach (1723-1789), philosopher, encyclopedist, translator and scientific popularizer, a German who became a naturalized Frenchman.

A materialist and atheist, d'Holbach was a collaborator and financier of Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie, and a prominent figure of the European radical Enlightenment.

In this work he proposes a social ethics that, in its radical immanence, i.e., excluding any remuneration from the afterlife, is founded on strictly utilitarian foundations.

[Paul Henri Thiry d'Holbach], Systême social, ou principes naturels de la morale et de la politique, avec un examen de l'influènce du gouvernement sur les mœurs, Paris, chez Serviere, 1795.

OPERA COMPLETA in 2 tomi.

Tomo I: pp. (IV), 472. COMPLETO.

Tomo II: pp. (IV), 403, (I). COMPLETO.

Esemplari con carte in condizioni complessivamente buone, con qualche macchia e gore d'umidità. Consueti segni dell'uso e del tempo.

Legature coeve in mezza pelle con titoli e fregi in oro ai dorsi, con qualche usura e mancanti della parte superiore del dorso del Tomo II. Fogli di guardia bianchi. Tagli gialli.
