Historia de la Cultura Griega

En su última obra Historia de la cultura griega, póstuma, publicada entre 1898 y 1902 en 4 tomos, los especialistas en la Historia de Grecia la rechazan cuando es publicada, porque Burckhardt no es especialista en ese tema. Sin embargo, la respuesta del público es otra, pues fue un libro de mucho éxito, y luego los especialistas la adoptan. Es una anécdota de la crisis que afectaba ya en esos momentos a la historia.
Sólo el primer tomo es de Historia Política El Estado y la Nación sobre la organización de la polis. El segundo tomo trata los temas de la religión y el culto y la adivinación del futuro. El tercer volumen versa sobre las artes figurativas, como filosofía o poesía, y el cuarto libro es el hombre griego en su desarrollo temporal, en la que analiza las estatuas para comprender su ideal de belleza o la sanidad existente en esa época.
