About this book
Nature, taken as matter and motion with nothing outside it, is where Baron d'Holbach starts in this work, first issued in French in 1770 under the name Mirabaud. This is the first of two volumes, in an English version from 1820 to 1821. Robert D. Richardson, Jr. introduces it, placing Holbach at the heart of the radical philosophes as friend and host to Diderot, D'Alembert, Helvetius and Hume, and noting his denial of spirit and the supernatural.
