		The role of the state is therefore to check factions, who want to gain power by the means of force, and to maintain a sense of security and continuity.
		Religions, so Burckhardt, are the expression of human nature's eternal and indestructable meta- physical need.

	Jakob Burckhardt Renaissance Cultural history
		In this work Burckhardt traced the cultural patterns of transition from the medieval period to the awakening of the modern spirit and creativity of the Renaissance.
		He saw the transition as one from a society in which people were primarily members of a class or community to a society that idealized the self-conscious individual.
		Burckhardt established the thesis that Renaissance art represented a break with the past, wherein representation became scientific, realistic, individualistic and humane; the visual analogue to the birth of the modern sensibility, one which left behind the superstitious mindset of the Dark Ages.

		Burckhardt would consequently attempt to write historical works, which embodied his desire to make the past both comprehensible and sensible through examining the contingent aspects of a given epoch.
		Thus Burckhardt's interest in the vitality of medieval life countered the common notion that the virtue of the Renaissance lay in its termination of medieval culture.

	"Jacob Burckhardt: History as Education and Culture," by David Melson
		For Burckhardt, it is "the vision of both past and future [that] distinguishes human beings and animals," yet Hegel's optimistic vision of mankind's future would deny individuals a reason to hold onto the past.

		He called on historians to revitalize the past and to teach history with an aim to connect the lives of their contemporaries with the world of the past.

		The two most salient examples of Burckhardt's interest in connections between historical periods lie in his sections concerning the "Revival of Antiquity" and the state of morality and religion in Italy.
		What impressed Burckhardt was not the mere fact that classical culture became admirable in Italy, but that the spirit of Renaissance Italy found the culture of ancient Italy and Greece worth incorporating into itself.
		Burckhardt recognized morality as the hardest of all cultural subjects to study, yet he examined it carefully, hoping to uncover enough evidence to form a picture.

		Burckhardt's view of the Renaissance as a process of resolution, working the conflicting themes of pagan antiquity and the Christian Middle Ages into a coherent whole, illustrated the general theme of his work.
		Instead of simply presenting a view of Greek history in the manner of The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, Burckhardt engaged in the construction of a plan to present the culture of classical Greece to the public.
		Burckhardt viewed the study of classical antiquity as an academic discipline concerned with the very foundations of European heritage.
