Autorenporträt
Paul Thiry, Baron d'Holbach was a Franco-German philosopher and writer known for his influential role in the French Enlightenment. Born on December 8, 1723, in Edesheim, Germany, to Johann Jakob Dietrich and Catherine Jacobina Holbach, he was raised in a region that later shaped his rationalist worldview. After studying at the University of Leiden, he moved to Paris, where he became a central figure among Enlightenment thinkers. His salon attracted leading intellectuals, including Denis Diderot, with whom he collaborated on the Encyclop die. D'Holbach was a fierce critic of religion and a proponent of atheism and materialism, writing numerous works under pseudonyms to argue against spiritual dogma. His philosophical approach combined ideas from Lucretius, Thomas Hobbes, and David Hume, seeking to explain human behavior and morality through natural causes rather than divine will. Despite his controversial views, d'Holbach remained deeply committed to the Enlightenment values of reason, knowledge, and freedom of thought. He died in Paris on January 21, 1789, shortly before the French Revolution that echoed many of the ideals he had long championed.
