Trata-se, em primeiro lugar, de examinar em que medida o monismo materialista, tal como se apresenta na obra  Sistema da natureza  de Holbach, de 1770, permite a formulacao de uma concepcao original da historia, para, em seguida, averiguar se esta concepcao do curso geral dos acontecimentos humanos poderia ser identificada na  Historia natural da supersticao , do mesmo autor.  We aim, in the first place, to examine at what extent Holbach's materialistic monism, as presented in his  System of nature  (1770), allows us to formulate an original conception of history, so that we can, secondly, ascertain whether this conception of the general course of human events could be identified in his Natural history of superstition .
