Produktbeschreibung
A bold, unflinching portrait of a forgotten powerhouse of ideas. Baron D'Holbach: A Study Of Eighteenth Century Radicalism In France takes you behind the salon doors to meet a man who helped spark a revolution in thought. This scholarly monograph invites readers into historical philosophy analysis and biographical historical study of eighteenth century france, tracing Holbach's relentless freethought and atheism within paris salon culture. With clarity and reverence, Max Pearson Cushing renders the complex web of ideas that shaped Enlightenment philosophers, radicalism in france, and the wider currents of public debate. The book is as much a drama of personality as a lucid map of doctrine, offering a confident Montesquieu comparison yet proving that Holbach's voice stands on its own. For the casual reader and the classics aficionado alike, this is both rigorous scholarship and a work with genuine general reader appeal. It functions as a teaching resource for courses without sacrificing narrative drive, guiding you through the intellectual climate that made Paris a crucible of change. The value lies not only in what Holbach argued, but in how the argument reshaped modern philosophy and culture. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
