On History and Historians. Translated by Harry Zohn, With an Introd. by H.R. Trevor-Roper

Western Civilisation was in its pomp when Jacob Burckhardt delivered his Judgements on History and Historians; European Empires spanned the globe, while the modern age was being forged in the nationalist revolutions of 1848. As a tutor to the young Friedrich Nietzsche as well as one of the first historians to take 'culture' as his subject rather than the triumphs and travails of kings and generals, Burckhardt was at the vanguard of this modern sensibility. Ambitious in its scope, ranging from the days of Ancient Egypt, through the Reformation to the time of Napoleon, this is indeed a history o.

  • "This volume consists of records collected from Burckhardt's lecture notes for history courses at the University of Basel from 1865 to 1885. The 149 brief sections span five eras: antiquity, the middle ages, history from 1450 to 1598, the history of the 17th 18th century, and the Age of Revolution."
  • ""Juicios sobre la historia y los historiadores, la gran obra de Jacob Burckhardt y, como se ha dicho, tal vez su obra más personal, reúne los apuntes y los fragmentos manuscritos de clases que dictó en la Universidad de Basilea entre 1865 y 1885. A lo largo de las cinco partes del libro (la Antigüedad, la Edad Media, el período de 1450 a 1598, los siglos XVII y XVIII, el período revolucionario) Burckhardt da muestras de su capacidad para reconocer los rasgos fundamentales de cada momento histórico y analizarlos en lo que tienen de único, en lugar de juzgarlos sobre la base de principios normativos, como los del racionalismo o el liberalismo de los siglos XVIII y XIX. Escéptico respecto de la fe epocal en el progreso, sus visiones del futuro son por lo general sombrías y se han visto desdichadamente confirmadas: el crecimiento ilimitado del poder del Estado -a pesar de todos los discursos contemporáneos sobre la libertad-, lo que conllevaría un incremento desmesurado del militarismo y de las deudas públicas; la amenaza de una gran guerra europea; los riesgos ecológicos que amenazan al planeta producto del crecimiento económico desenfrenado; el vaciamiento espiritual de los pueblos debido al dominio de visiones materialistas. Si Burckhardt vislumbra, no obstante, una esperanza, ésta sólo puede ser de "naturaleza espiritual, vuelta hacia atrás para rescatar la cultura de tiempos pasados, vuelta hacia adelante para una defensa serena e incansable del espíritu, en una época que, de otra forma, se entregaría por completo a las cosas mundanas". --Contratapa."
