The Heavenly Father - Lectures on Modern Atheism by Ernest Naville
page 120 of 262 (45%)
[65] My object is to point out the atheistical systems which are being
produced in various parts of Europe, and not to estimate, in a general
way, the tendency of contemporary philosophies. The reader, who would
understand the position occupied by materialism in relation to German
thought in general, may consult with advantage, _Le Matérialisme
contemporain_, by Paul Janet, Paris, 1864; and the review of this work
by M. Reichlin-Meldegg (_Zeitschrift für Philosophie_,
Sechsundvierzigster Band). A Swiss writer, M. Böhner, has lately
published a learned work on the subject entitled: _Le Matérialisme au
point de vue des sciences naturelles et des progrès de l'esprit humain_,
by Nath. Böhner, member of the _Société helvétique des sciences
naturelles_, translated from the German, by O. Bourrit, 1 vol. 8vo.
(_Genève, imprimerie Fick_), 1861.

... Ces enfants de l'effroi,
Ces beaux riens qu'on adore, et sans savoir pourquoi,
Ces dieux que l'homme a faits et qui n'ont pas fait l'homme.
