Although almost forgotten, Cyrano de Bergerac remains one of the most important precursors of Rousseau and the Natural Order movement. As a Utopian writer, he forms a connecting link between Campanella and the French movement of the eighteenth century. His Utopias are packed with an encyclopedia of knowledge, but they contain no political or social system. He did not possess a systematic mind, and his aim in the Utopias was to give his scientific ideas an attractive form
