Underhållande och givande biografi om kejsare Tiberius.Tiberius, Augustus efterträdare som kejsare av Rom och en av sin tids största fältherrar är numera en av de stora drivkrafterna i Capris turistindustri. Varje dag besöker hundratals turister ruinen efter hans palats och får höra bloddrypande historier om Tiberius grymheter.
Tiberius (42 f Kr37 e Kr) var samtida med en rad personer som i historieböckerna ofta ansetts betydligt intressantare än han själv. Med två av dessa, kejsare Augustus och fältherren Marcus Agrippa, var han släkt. I hans barndomshem kom och gick berömda författare som Horatius, Vergilius och Livius. Att Tiberius var samtida med huvudpersonerna i Evangelierna gör honom ännu mer intressant, plus att han ofrivilligt kom att bidra till en världsreligions födelse. Om han hade beordrat Pontius Pilatus att skona den judiske upprorsmakaren i Judéen skulle vår världshistoria kanske se annorlunda ut i dag.
Tiberius levde i en politisk brytningstid, då romarriket övergick från att vara republik till att bli kejsardöme. Pliktkänslan var Tiberius kompass i livet men samtidigt gick han sin egen väg. Han var en komplex person, hans liv följde inte någon rät linje och det var först sent i livet som han motvilligt insåg att hans öde var att bli kejsare.
Gunnar Dahl har valt ett annorlunda berättarsätt i Tiberius. Varje kapitel inleds med en skönlitterär betraktelse, medan Dahl i övrigt skriver mer traditionellt om Tiberius och hans tid. Det är en utmärkt kombination av faktabok och roman vilket gör läsningen både givande och underhållande och det känns som om man kommer Tiberius närmare än i en vanlig biografi.Det här är en Print on Demand-utgåva av en tidigare utgiven bok.

Som en av antikens mest gåtfulla gestalter saknade Tiberius sin store föregångare Augustus kejserliga prakt och många av hans efterträdares överdrifter och har förbisetts av historien. Trots det erbjuder denna övertygande studie ett porträtt av en komplex och motsägelsefull man, både kejsare och landsflykting, tyrann och enstöring.
Utifrån såväl en mängd antika källor som samtida klassisk vetenskap gör dr Iskander Rehman en nyanserad och multidisciplinär granskning av Tiberius filosofiska, intellektuella och militära inflytande, samt lyfter fram hans utrikespolitiks effektivitet. Genom att analysera väsentliga konflikter utvärderar Rehman räckvidden och verkan av Roms grundläggande strategi, och tillämpar lärdomarna från det förflutna på samtida säkerhetsutmaningar och modern global försvarspolitik.
Denna utgåva utkommer bara på engelska och har ett förord av Sir Peter Stothard, brittisk författare, journalist och kritiker. Dr Iskander Rehman är Ax:son Johnson Fellow vid Kissinger Center for Global Affairs och Senior Fellow for Strategic Studies vid American Foreign Policy Council. Hans första bok Planning for Protraction: A Historically Informed Approach to Great Power War and Sino-US Competition utkommer i november 2023.

How should you live? Should you devote yourself to perfecting a single talent or try to live a balanced life? Should you lighten up and have more fun, or buckle down and try to achieve greatness? Should you try to be a better friend? Should you be self-critical or self-accepting? And how should you decide among the possibilities open to you? Should you consult experts, listen to your parents, do lots of research? Make lists of pros and cons, or go with yourgut? These are not questions that can be answered in general or in the abstract. Rather, these questions are addressed to the first person point of view, to the perspective each of us occupies when we reflect on how to live without knowing exactly what we''re aiming for. To answer them, The ReflectiveLife focuses on the process of living one''s life from the inside, rather than on defining goals from the outside.Drawing on traditional philosophical sources as well as literature and recent work in social psychology, Tiberius argues that, to live well, we need to develop reflective wisdom: to care about things that will sustain us and give us good experiences, to have perspective on our successes and failures, and to be moderately self-aware and cautiously optimistic about human nature. Further, we need to know when to think about our values, character, and choices, and when not to. A crucial part ofwisdom, Tiberius maintains, is being able to shift perspectives: to be self-critical when we are prepared for it, but not when it will undermine our success; to be realistic, but not to the extent that we are immobilized by the harsh facts of life; to examine life when reflection is appropriate, butnot when we should lose ourselves in experience.

What is human well-being? Valerie Tiberius argues that our lives go well to the extent that we succeed in terms of what matters to us emotionally, reflectively, and over the long term. In other words, well-being consists in fulfilling or realizing our appropriate values over time. In the first half of the book, Tiberius sets out the theory of well-being as value fulfilment. She explains what valuing is and what it is to fulfill values over time. In the second half ofthe book she applies the theory to the problem of how to help others, particularly our friends. We don''t always know how to provide the help we know others need; but we also have the problem of knowing what help they need in the first place, and this is a problem that requires ethical thinking.Tiberius argues that when we want to help others achieve greater well-being, we should pay attention to their values. This entails attending to how others'' values fit together, how they understand what it means to succeed in terms of these values, and how things could change for them over time. Being a good and helpful friend, then, requires cultivating some habits of humility that overcome our tendency to think we know what''s good for other people without really understanding what it''s like tobe them.

What can we do to live life wisely? You might think that the answer would be to think and reflect more. But this is not Valerie Tiberius's answer. On her view, when we really take account of what we are like - when we recognize our psychological limits - we will see that too much thinking and reflecting is bad for us. Instead, we need to think and reflect better. This means that we need to develop wisdom: we need to care about things that will sustain us and give us good experiences, we need to have perspective on our successes and failures, and we need to be moderately self-aware and cautiously optimistic about human nature. Further, we need to know when to think about our values, character, and choices, and when not to. A crucial part of wisdom, Tiberius maintains, is knowing when to stop reflecting and get lost in the experience. The Reflective Life also considers the issue of how to philosophize about how to live. A recent trend in moral philosophy has been toward what is sometimes called 'empirically informed ethics'. This methodology has not yet caught on in normative ethics, primarily because we cannot conclude anything about what ought to be the case from the facts about what is. Tiberius agrees that this leap should be avoided, but argues that empirical psychology can inform our philosophical theories in interesting ways.

This volume focuses on special military and diplomatic missions in various provinces of the Empire that Augustus and Tiberius entrusted to selected members of the domus Augusta, granting them special prerogatives (imperia extraordinaria). Sawiński compares and analyses various primary and secondary sources exploring special powers and missions in the provinces of the domus Augusta during the reigns of Augustus and Tiberius, from 27 BC to AD 23, from border regions on the Rhine and the Danube to client states such as Judaea and Armenia. It explores the legal aspects of these powers wielded in the provinces and how these missions and the subsequent honours helped to solidify power within a new hereditary system of power. The reader will also find in it a critical discussion of the current state of research on this subject. Holders of Extraordinary Imperium under Augustus and Tiberius offers an important study of these powers and prerogatives of the imperial family that will be of interest to anyone working on the Augustan age, the early Empire and Principate, and the Roman imperial family. This volume should also prove useful to students of archaeology and art history.

This is the first philosophy textbook in moral psychology, introducing students to a range of philosophical topics and debates such as: What is moral motivation? Do reasons for action always depend on desires? Is emotion or reason at the heart of moral judgment? Under what conditions are people morally responsible? Are there self-interested reasons for people to be moral? Moral Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction presents research by philosophers and psychologists on these topics, and addresses the overarching question of how empirical research is (or is not) relevant to philosophical inquiry.
