System of Nature

D'Holbach believed that the misery he saw in mankind around him was caused by religion and its superstitious beliefs — that there was a God who controlled destiny and would reward and punish individuals. The System of Nature was written to replace these delusions with a schema of understanding based solely on the physical workings of nature.
