"Serpents and reptiles reach the heights of mountains and rocks, while the most fiery of steeds can never climb there."
Baron d'Holbach's 1776 Essay on the Art of Crawling is a delicious satire on the sycophancy and self-abasement rife in the courts of Europe. A penetrating account of the workings of power that applies as much to today's courtiers as it did to those of the eighteenth century, it also makes a compelling case for the value of moral independence and personal dignity.
Paul Henri Thiry (1723-89), better known as Baron d’Holbach, was a major thinker of the Enlightenment period and, in his treatise The System of Nature, the author of one of that era’s most devastating attacks on Christianity.
