What I meant was that he nowhere seems to spend much time on the kind of 'society' he would admire, other than vague statements about the culture of what he calls 'the tragic age' of the Greeks or that of the Italian cities in the Rennaisance. Do you think he wanted to turn the clock back? I don't think he gave much thought to society as such.
