LivTalks presents Napoleon – Megalomaniac Tyrant or Philosopher King? with Oliver live from his home in Paris! This 45-minute webinar will focus on learning who exactly Napoleon was and why he continues to fascinate us as an historic personality? He is one of the most written about figures of all time and new biographies are constantly appearing. We all know his name, but how much do we actually know about Napoleon?

Oliver will begin his talk with popular misconceptions about Napoleon and where they come from – for example – we all think he was short yet he was of a very average height for his time. He will go on to talk about Naturally we will begin his early years with a focus on his character and the relationships he had. The talk will also touch upon his rise to power and the military genius behind the man. What did contemporary military leaders say about him? Why did he fail in Russia? Oliver will answer the question of whether he truly was an heir to Alexander and Julius Caesar?

Oliver will give you an idea of his enduring influence on France and Europe – the use of the metric system, Napoleonic Code, French reforms, building construction throughout Paris, conquered territories and much more. He will also give you insight into the progressive nature of politics under Napoleon in terms of tolerance towards religions, races and homosexuality, and the speeches he gave in Egypt demanding respect for the locals.

Learn about the workaholic side of Napoleon, as well as the personal side of him – his unique eating habits, his romantic relationships, how this affected him as leader. Get an idea of what his contemporaries thought of him, as well as what Goethe and Nietzsche had to say about him. His eating habits, his romantic relationships, how this affected him as leader.

This webinar will also discuss whether Napoleon was a force for good in Europe, what is his most lasting legacy. Why we must look at him through a lens appropriately to the time period. We cannot, for example, judge his lack of action in the field of the equality of the sexes, given that women would not be given the vote until a century after his fall. As for being a warmonger, more hostilities were declared against Napoleon than he declared against other nations. But finally, Napoleon was an emperor, a dictator by definition, but is this inherently a negative form of government? Today, in the western world most citizens would say yes, however, dictatorship was the established form of government for far longer than democracy and at the time few nations were democratic and even the majority of the enlightenment philosophers
