Line 5: − − == Works related to atheism == − − The ''Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy'' says concerning the work of Paul-Henri Thiry/Baron d'Holbach: − {{cquote|Although indeed Holbach devotes the entire second volume of Système de la nature and all of Le Bon Sens to the [[Rebuttals to atheist arguments|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 [[Atheism and epistemology|discussing intelligibly]] [[Atheism and truth|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>}}
