This comprehensive book delves into the profound and intricate perspectives of Diderot and d'Holbach, shedding light on some of the most significant debates that unfolded in eighteenth-century Europe. By emphasizing aspects of their thought that have received limited scholarly attention, the book aims to re-establish both thinkers in their rightful place in the annals of philosophical history. The book challenges the notion of Diderot and d'Holbach as atheists by demonstrating that their philosophy is deeply rooted in the Christian tradition. It presents a nuanced and historically contextualized interpretation of the so-called "Radical Enlightenment," challenging the notion that it can be considered a coherent set of ideas or a complete break from "the old." By examining Diderot and d'Holbach's works in tandem and without post-romantic assumptions about originality and single authorship, the book argues that their texts should be regarded as the product of a fascinating collaborative form of philosophical inquiry that reflects the sociable nature of intellectual production during the Enlightenment. Furthermore, the book offers a fresh interpretation of key texts such as the Système de la nature and Jacques le fataliste et son maître, unveiling a vital web of concepts that will aid researchers in gaining a deeper understanding of Enlightenment philosophy and literature as a whole.
