The Ego and Its Own

Meer over het boek

Critiquing the constraints of Christianity and nationalism, Max Stirner's 1844 work advocates for a radical form of egoism that liberates the individual from societal dogmas. He argues that traditional morals and obligations hinder personal autonomy and potential. Stirner envisions a temporary social structure where individuals can pursue true freedom without subjugation to external authorities or even personal desires. This influential text is pivotal for understanding anarchism, existentialism, and nihilism, making it essential for political students and advocates of personal liberty.
