A challenging figure of the European Enlightenment, Paul-Henri Thiry d'Holbach was not only a radically materialistic philosopher, a champion of anticlericalism, the author of the \u003ci\u003eSystème de la nature\u003c\/i\u003e - known as 'the Bible of atheists' -, an idéologue, a popularizer of the natural sciences and a prolific contributor to the \u003ci\u003eEncyclopédie\u003c\/i\u003e, but he also played a crucial role as an organizer of intellectual networks and was a master of disseminating clandestine literature and a consummate strategist in authorial fictions. In this collective volume, for the first time, all these different threads of d'Holbach's 'philosophy in action' are considered and analyzed in their interconnection. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Contributors to this volume: Jacopo Agnesina, Nicholas Cronk, Mélanie Éphrème, Enrico Galvagni, Jonathan Israel, Alan Charles Kors, Mladen Kozul, Brunello Lotti, Emilio Mazza, Gianluca Mori, Iryna Mykhailova, Gianni Paganini, Paolo Quintili, Alain Sandrier, Ruggero Sciuto, Maria Susana Seguin, and Gerhardt Stenger.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laura Nicolì\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004435786\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004435780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 360\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.00d","brand":"Laura Nicolì","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44075256283391,"sku":"9789004435780","price":138.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9a269bc2-718e-4da2-bc17-b0c8eb084736.jpg?v=1685458500","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-great-protector-of-wits-laura-nicol-9789004435780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
