César

What Dominique Pagani says

Dominique Pagani mentions Julius Caesar in passing, mainly as a historical reference point and as an example. He places him in the passage from the city to the Empire1 and cites him in connection with the triumvirate2. He describes him as a great soldier who became dictator, almost king of Rome3, and makes him a figure of the strongest4. In a session devoted to Napoleon, he sees him as a great strategist, able to turn one Helvetian tribe against the others5. Following Hegel, he counts him among the politicians who write their own history themselves, in what Hegel calls original history6. He returns several times to the phrase "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"78. In a session on Hegel, he reads it as the sign that man no longer abases himself before a sovereign9. He also notes in passing that Roman soldiers addressed him with the familiar "tu"10.
