Vielfältige (Be-)Deutungen und vielgestaltige, komplexe Formen. Das »Ganze« könnte kaum diverser sein - und damit von größter Aktualität. Die politischen Krisen der Gegenwart (Klimawandel, Migration, Pandemie) verlangen nach globalen und ganzheitlichen Lösungen, während Ganzheit aufgrund der Totalitarismuserfahrungen des 20.

The Age of Constantine the Great (1949)
Republished in 1949, Jacob Burckhardt’s brilliant study, first published in Germany in 1852, has survived all its critics and presents today perhaps a more intelligible and a more valid picture of events, their nexus, and their relevance than any later study.

Revolutionary in his all-encompassing and unflinching examination of the Italian Renaissan…
