Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Baron D´holbach: A Study of Eighteenth Century Radicalism in France Diderot, writing to the Princess Dashkoff in 1771, thus analysed the spirit of his century: Chaque siècle a son esprit qui le caractérise. L´esprit du notre semble etre celui de la liberte. La premiere attaque contre la superstition a ete violente, sans mesure. Une fois que les hommes ont ose d´une maniere quelconque donner l´assaut a la barriere de la religion, cette barriere la plus formidable qui existe comme la plus respectee, il est impossible de s´arreter. Des qu´ils ont tourne des regards menaçants contre la majeste du ciel, ils ne manqueront pas le moment d´apres de les diriger contre la souverainete de la terre. Le cable qui tient et comprime l´humanite est forme de deux cordes, l´une ne peut ceder sans que l´autre vienne a rompre. The following study proposes to deal with this attack on religion that preceded and helped to prepare the French Revolution. Similar phenomena are by no means rare in the annals of history; eighteenth-century atheism, however, is of especial interest, standing as it does at the end of a long period of theological and ecclesiastical disintegration and prophesying a reconstruction of society on a purely rational and naturalistic basis. The anti-theistic movement has been so obscured by the less thoroughgoing tendency of deism and by subsequent romanticism that the real issue in the eighteenth century has been largely lost from view. Hence it has seemed fit to center this study about the man who stated the situation with the most unmistakable and uncompromising clearness, and who still occupies a unique though obscure position in the history of thought.
