According to Lichtenberger in his Le Socialisme au XVIIIe siècle, this is, if not the most important socialist work of the 18th century, at least one of the most important works, and it is the theoretical foundation of his famous Naufrage des isles flottantes; ou Basiliade .'Morelly argued that the code of nature was completely communistic. Starting out from the proposition that moral evil, the essence of which was avarice, could be explained by social conditions Morelly portrayed and advocated an ideal communistic society in which it would be 'impossible to be depraved.' (.) In many respects Morelly's system anticipates the rationalistic utopianism of Fourier' (Kingsley Martin in ESS, vol. xi, pp. 10 ff).Morelly was 'tremendously influential in inspiring utopian socialism, for his theories are reflected in almost every one of the schemes of the Utopian socialists. In fact we must regard him, if not the founder, at least as the most conspicious forerunner of the Utopian Socialists. (.) Of the writers of his time he was the one who saw most clearly the need of a new system to replace the old; he alone was truly constructive, for he actually outlined a new social structure which he thought would meet the needs should ancient society be overthrown. While others deserve merit as critics and analysts and destroyers, he alone deserves the name of utopianist at this early period' (Hertzler, J.O. The history of Utopian Thought, p. 186 ff). The work was severely prosecuted in France. This edition was apparently printed in Holland and destined for the French market. - A very nice volume with two important texts.

Contemporary speckled calf, spine gilt in compartments, red morocco label, red sprinkled edges, a very fine and clean copy. FIRST EDITION of this proposal for the ideal state, which included unity of funds, public use of tools and products, equal education, communal self-sufficiency and the abolition of financial remuneration. See the long account of this book in the Nouvelle Biographie Générale: ?It is remarkable that these ideas, which were the most extreme of the socialist policies of the period, appeared at a time when political economy was being established on the principles of the wealth of nations. Morelly had a definite talent for rhetoric, and he laid emphasis on ideas of public prosperity; his philosophy was very attractive before its practicalities demonstrated its dangers; even Morelly did not appreciate its full significance. His Code de la Nature is both the last of the inert Utopias which, from Plato?s Republic to the Télèphe of Pechmeja, proposed a state of ideal well-being with no practicability, and the first of the more alarming Utopias produced by the French proletariat with the idea of immediate application?
