[edit] german wikipedia

[edit] Anon addition

Anon added this, Ive removed it from the article:

Central to Burckhardt's ideas was a reaction to Hegel's philosophy of history, which understood all history as an exposition of "spirit." Burckhardt can be understood as a conservative reaction to Hegel's theory of history. See: "Jacob Burckhardt: History as Education and Culture" http://www.janus.umd.edu/May2001/Melson/01.html

This needs to be expanded on (better explained) and integrated into the article by someone who knows more about it. --Stbalbach 18:15, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
