520    In keeping with the inquisitive spirit of their times, two
       17th-century writers envisioned their own philosophical 
       and intellectual utopias. Tomasso Campanella, a Calabrian 
       monk, published The City of the Sun in 1623, and Francis 
       Bacon's The New Atlantis appeared in 1627. Campanella was 
       a student of logic and physics; Bacon focused on politics 
       and philosophy. Despite differences in setting and 
       treatment, both authors employed the latest methods of 
       scientific experimentation to restructure the social order,
       and both works abound in imaginative thought and 
       expression. Campanella formulated the first scientifically
       based socialistic system -- one that furnished a model for
       subsequent ideal communities. Bacon focused on the duty of
       the state toward science, and his projections for state-
       sponsored research anticipated many advances in medicine 
       and surgery, meteorology, and machinery. Both of these 
       classics mirror their period's idealism and its 
       revolutionary trends in thought.
