Was sagt uns Jacob Burckhardt heute? Die Frühjahrsausgabe der Zeitschrift für Ideengeschichte kreist um einen Einzelgänger, genialen Dilettanten und Welthistoriker, der schon lang vor den jüngsten turns globalhistorisch dachte. Heute, an seinem 200. Geburtstag, sind uns seine Weltgeschichtliche Betrachtungen politisch bedrückend nahe. In seinem Pessimismus, seinen Ängsten und Irritationen erkennen wir uns wieder. Wie kaum ein anderer Historiker trifft der Seismograph Burckhardt die Stimmung unserer Zeit. Mit Beiträgen von Simon Strauss, Christian Meier, Stefan Rebenich, Ulrich Raulff, Caspar Hirschi, Patrick Bahners und vielen weiteren.
