Systeme De La Nature, Part 1: Ou Des Loix Du Monde Physique And Du Monde Moral (1781) is a philosophical work by Paul Henri Thiry Holbach. The book is written in French and was first published in 1770. The book is divided into two parts, the first of which deals with the laws of the physical world, while the second part deals with the laws of the moral world.In the first part of the book, Holbach argues that the universe is governed by natural laws, which can be understood through scientific inquiry. He rejects the idea of supernatural intervention and argues that everything in the physical world can be explained through natural causes. He also argues that humans are not exempt from these laws, and that our actions are determined by the laws of nature.In the second part of the book, Holbach applies his naturalistic philosophy to ethics and morality. He argues that morality is not based on divine commandments, but rather on the natural desire for happiness and the avoidance of pain. He also argues that free will is an illusion, and that our actions are determined by our environment and upbringing.Overall, Systeme De La Nature, Part 1: Ou Des Loix Du Monde Physique And Du Monde Moral is a groundbreaking work of naturalistic philosophy that challenged traditional religious and moral beliefs.
