The Europeans who maintained a Puritan intellectual order in the chaotic New World were the starting point of American intellectual history.

The exchange of letters between America and Europe served as a temporal network connecting intellectuals of the time to ancient Athens and Rome, and after World War II, the values of progressivism and conservatism influenced each other to shape the landscape of intellectual history.
