−
{{cquote|Although indeed Holbach devotes the entire second volume of Système de la nature and all of Le Bon Sens to the defense of atheism and the criticism of particular claims about God, his views do not hold great philosophical interest. They emphasize well worn topics such as the [[Atheism and the Problem of Evil|problem of evil]], the impossibility of discussing intelligibly what is unknowable, the [[Causes of atheism|suspect psychological origins of religious belief]], and the confusion of traditional descriptions of God in terms that are simply the negation of genuine descriptive terms: for example, to say that God is infinite is just to deny that God is finite. None of these arguments is unique to Holbach or especially well presented by him.<ref>[http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/holbach/ Paul-Henri Thiry] - ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy''</ref>}}
