Princeps edition

Philosophical Thoughts (French: Pensées philosophiques) is a 1746 book composed by Denis Diderot; it was his first original work.[1][2]

In the book, Diderot argued that both reason and feeling (emotion) were required to establish harmony. He defended deism and criticized both atheism and Christianity. He expressed his contempt for theologians, and criticized all forms of self-torture (self-harm).
