{"product_id":"2940157855994","title":"Philosophical Thoughts and Other Texts","description":"Immediately upon publication, this book \"stirred up quite a scandal, and introduced the world to a new athlete, all the harder to beat, since he hit you from all sides at once; he seems to assume different forms, and in this respect he could say, like the devil, 'Our name is Legion'\" (Naigeon, 'Memoires'). A scandal, to be sure: the book was promptly banned, burned and its anonymous author was pursued by the authorities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author later became a guiding mind of the Englightment with his Encyclopedia. In this, his first published book, Diderot launches a sustained attack on his twin enemies: superstition (i.e. Christianity, the Bible, miracles, and revelation) and atheism. The truth, he thought, lies with deism: God is knowable through his masterpiece, the world and all it contains. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis fully revised translation includes the following texts:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhilosophical Thoughts\u003cbr\u003eAddition to the \"Philosophical Thoughts\"\u003cbr\u003eUnpublished Thoughts\u003cbr\u003eOn the Sufficiency of Natural Religion\u003cbr\u003eRuling of the Parlement of Paris Regarding the \"Philosophical Thoughts\"","brand":"Kirk Watson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47178033070320,"sku":"2940157855994","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940157855994_p0.jpg?v=1764135820","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940157855994","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
