Abstract

PRIMO, Marcelo de Sant’Anna Alves. The idea of divinity and the passions in the système de la nature by Holbach. Conjectura: filos. e Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.24, e019040.  Epub July 31, 2020. ISSN 2178-4612.  https://doi.org/10.18226/21784612.v24.e019040.

In his Système de la nature, Holbach says some ideas that man engenders within them are derived from an oscillation of moods that prevents him from glimpsing the reasons to attribute a sacred character to certain words or opinions. In this sense, the passions, far from being romanticized and take advantage over the right reason just because they are less cold and more playful, under the penalty of Baron earn a negative image, defined as real obstacles to the man you want to understand the principles, the course and the laws of nature dismissing the appeal to supernatural bodies or entities created by the imagination, by the inconstancy of moods or by language.

Keywords : Holbach; Passions; Divinity.
