Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Italic title Des singularités de la nature is a book on natural history by the French philosopher and author Voltaire, first published in 1768.[1][2] In it, he defends Preformationism, the idea that organisms develop from tiny versions of themselves.[1] He defends the idea of a supreme being, and the idea that many features of the natural world have been made to benefit people, including noses for smelling and mountains for forming the landscape.[3]
