Who is Étienne-Gabriel Morelly?
Étienne-Gabriel Morelly was a French utopian thinker and novelist. An otherwise "obscure tax official", Morelly wrote two books on education and a critique of Montesquieu. However, he is best known as author of The Code of Nature, published anonymously in France in 1755. This book severely criticized the society of his day and proposed a constitution intended to lead to an egalitarian society without property, marriage, church or police.
