Description

Baron d'Holbach: A Study of Eighteenth Century Radicalism in France by Max Pearson Cushing is a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential yet often overlooked figures of the Enlightenment. In this insightful study, Cushing delves into the life and philosophy of Baron Paul-Henri Thiry d'Holbach, a prominent philosopher, and a fierce advocate for atheism and materialism during a time of rigid religious doctrine. The book meticulously examines d'Holbach's writings and his role in the burgeoning radical movement in France, illuminating his late 18th-century context and the challenges he faced. Cushing effectively situates d'Holbach within broader Enlightenment thought, showcasing how his ideas challenged the status quo and laid the groundwork for modern secularism. Richly detailed yet accessible, Cushing's analysis provides readers with a deeper understanding of d'Holbach's contributions to philosophy and the enduring legacy of his radicalism in contemporary discourse. This work is essential for anyone interested in Enlightenment philosophy and revolutionary thought.
