Bücher von Max Stirner

The Ego and His Own by Max Stirner is a philosophical work that challenges traditional thinking on individualism and society. Originally published in 1844, this book offers a radical and thought-provoking perspective on the concept of egoism and the pursuit of freedom. Stirner's philosophy, known as egoism, is based on the idea that individuals exist solely for their own benefit and should prioritize their own interests above all else. He argues that traditional ideas of morality and social conventions suppress individual freedom, and that individuals should be free to act according to their own interests, without regard for traditional norms or cultural expectations. The Ego and His Own has been recognized as an influential work that helped pave the way for individualist and anarchist movements. It has been studied by scholars and philosophers for its radical ideas and unique perspective on individualism and societal norms. Overall, The Ego and His Own is a challenging and thought-provoking read that will appeal to readers interested in philosophy, individualism, and the relationship between the self and society.

Ciò che Max Stirner lasciò in fatto di opere minori fu compiuto (con l'unica eccezione dei suoi articoli per il «Giornale del Lloyd austriaco» nel 1848) prima della comparsa dell'«Unico e la sua proprietà», quindi prima del 1845. Queste opere minori si suddividono in quattro gruppi: le due prime pubblicazioni, intimamente affini tra loro, del gennaio 1842; le sue corrispondenze alla Gazzetta generale di Lipsia e alla Gazzetta renana, che si estendono dal marzo al dicembre 1842; quattro maggiori componimenti che stanno da sè, dei quali egli pubblicò pure nella Gazzetta renana i due più importanti...

Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own is striking and distinctive in both style and content. First published in 1844, Stirner's distinctive and powerful polemic sounded the death-knell of left Hegelianism, with its attack on Ludwig Feuerbach, Bruno and Edgar Bauer, Moses Hess and others. It also constitutes an enduring critique of both liberalism and socialism from the perspective of an extreme eccentric individualism. Karl Marx was only one of many contemporaries provoked into a lengthy rebuttal of Stirner's argument. Stirner has been portrayed, variously, as a precursor of Nietzsche (both stylistically and substantively), a forerunner of existentialism and as an individualist anarchist. This edition of his work comprises a revised version of Steven Byington's much praised translation, together with an introduction and notes on the historical background to Stirner's text.
