Jean-Jacques Rousseau is often called a utopian. It is true that he develops emotional and imaginary elements such as insularity or the closed economy (Clarens). He admires the Montagnons for their autarky. But is he really a utopian? Is he not rather a worthy successor to the spirit of natural law or even what may have been called primitivism?
