The argument that Puritanism fostered scientific advance has often been put forward. Where this argument might find some support is in the fact that the strong Hebraic, Old-Testament-inspired type of piety of the Puritans and Calvinists was conducive to amalgamation with Cabala, with the mystical side of Judaism. Frances A. Yates - The Rosicrucian Enlightenment (1972), p. 286

For our purposes, however, this relationship, which determined to a great extent the nature of the Renaissance ideal city, becomes important only at the moment when architects became aware of the possibility of transferring to the realm of reality that which they had imagined in their memory; that is, of cutting out of the fabric of the real city the sequences and places that constituted their memory maps of the city, of turning the city into a memory theater and making that theater accessible both to the inhabitants and, equally importantly, to visitors. The planning of the Rome of Sixtus V as a vast tourist city with all its monuments and memorials joined by significant paths or streets marks the true beginning of urbanism. Urbanism, in this sense, might be defined as the instrumental theory and practice of constructing the city as memorial of itself. The history of urbanism from the late Renaissance to the Second World War illustrates this definition clearly : the replanning of London by Wren and his fellow scientists and historians of the Royal Society; the replanning of Paris by Pierre Patte and the philosophic architects of the Enlightenment; the reconstruction of Paris by Baron Haussmann under the Second Empire; the various model cities and their partial implementations envisaged by the modernists from Tony Gamier to Le Corbusier; all perpetuate the myth of memory as installed for keeps, so to speak, in the heart of a metropolis that is (finally) rendered significant and speaking to its people.

At once a psychological and an aesthetic phenomenon, [unheilmlich] both established and destabilized at the same time. Its effects were guaranteed by an original authenticity, a first burial, and made all the more potent by virtue of a return that, in civilization, was in a real sense out of place. Something was not, then, merely haunted, but rather revisited by a power that was thought long dead. To such a force the romantic psyche and the romantic aesthetic sensibility were profoundly open; at any moment what seemed on the surface homely and comforting, secure and clear of superstition, might be reappropriated by something that should have remained secret but that nevertheless, through some chink in the shutters of progress, had returned. Anthony Vidler - The Architectural Uncanny: Essays in the Modern Unhomely (1992), p. 27

«Кажется, что в настоящее время гораздо труднее воплощать великие замыслы, чем в древние времена. Их нелегко скрывать, потому что теперь гораздо живее сообщения между народами, потому что каждый государь имеет послов при каждом дворе и может иметь изменников во всех кабинетах» [Монтескье. Размышления… Гл. XXI]
