Paul Thiry, Baron d'Holbach (/ˈdoʊlbɑːk/;[1] French: [dɔlbak]; 8 December 1723 – 21 January 1789), known as d'Holbach, was a Franco-German philosopher, encyclopedist and writer, who was a prominent figure in the French Enlightenment.[2] He was born in Edesheim, near Landau in the Rhenish Palatinate, but lived and worked mainly in Paris, where he kept a salon. He helped in the dissemination of "Protestant and especially German thought", particularly in the field of the sciences,[3] but was best known for his atheism,[4] and for his voluminous writings against religion, the most famous of them being The System of Nature (1770) and The Universal Morality (1776).
