Well, hot damn this book took me a long time to read, and never have I reread so many passages. Stirner, like just about all philosophers I've read, takes the long route to get where he's going, but he gets there. I haven't been swayed towards egoism but I'd love to have more conversations about this book and read more Stirner. ( ) $350-400 on Abe. 387 Pp Catalog At End. First Published In London In 1912, This Is An Early Modern Library Edition, 1919, Wth Toledano's Spine #1 (1917-1919), Brodzky Endpapers (1919-1925, And Catalog C5 (First Issued Fall 1918). First Published In Germany In The 1840'S, "This Book Contains The Most Revolutionary Philosophy Ever Written, Its Purpose Being To Totally Destroy The Idea Of Duty And To Assert The Supremacy Of The Will, And From This Standpoint To Effect A Transvaluation Of All Values And Displace The State By A Union Of Conscious Egoists" (From The English Edition's Dj Cover) Stirner's leap from pedantic cynicism (his infamous spooks) to patronizing cynicism (mine mine mine) is not one I can get behind. He falls into the same hole that most "immanent" philosophies fall into, creating his own ideal Man to idolize right after tearing down all other ideals, just as Feuerbach did. It just happens that Stirner's Man is kind of a petty dickhead. As an aside, his thoughts on Jews, "negroids," and "mongoloids" are pretty uncomfortable. I wish he hadn't picked up on the worst trends in Hegelian history there. I first read The Ego and His Own as an edgelord LaVeyan Satanist who enjoyed trolling philosophy professors who were only equipped to stunt on the average freshman. At that time I considered myself a defender of (Psychological) Egoism and often attributed to Thomas Hobbes what I had actually learned from Stirner. Oops. Reading this book years later I am proud to say that I am more annoyed with Stirner than impressed. One could read this book as a metaphysical exercise of the self versus the environment. How the microcosmic principles are at odds with the macrocosmic and glean quite a bit of wisdom from this exercise. I say "could" because every other page Stirner likes to remind the reader that this is absolutely not his intent. That's not to say that this book is without merit. Stirner brings some strong arguments to the table, and like I mentioned before, even seasoned philosophers often fail to refute them easily. Often Stirner will repeat an argument from logical, wordplay, or even theological perspectives. The annotations by James J. Martin are especially helpful by pointing out the wordplay from the original German, as such nuances are often lost in translation. Now reduced to memes that miss the point, Stirner's concept of spooks deserves to be grappled with. With the onset of Artificial Intelligence, the sale of personal data, and an ever encroaching surveillance state; going against the author's wishes and extrapolating outside of his intended scope is also illuminating, if maybe quite necessary. Social Media seems to thrive on bending us against our wills by presenting the most attractive spooks to possess us; for just one example. Stirner targets all forms of collectivism as his favorite spooks to tear apart, often by using extreme examples that may have been laughable at the time of writing but have become all too normal now. Our media bombardment of the atrocities of the rich take Stirner's arguments from the hypothetical to the biography of Epstein. This may have always been the case but never reported so widely in the past. The veil of naivety has been torn apart for all to see. Stiner eventually proposes his own spook, the Union of Egoists, as a utopian and voluntary organization that dissolves as soon as one member does not benefit. Like most utopias of philosophers it stands on very shaky ground and appears from several angles to be contradictory to his central thesis. Perhaps this was some sort of compromise of concession, but it is by far one of the weakest arguments in the book. Love him or hate him, Stirner deserves to be read. His work serves as the shadow, or dark night of the modern soul, that only grows larger and repeats the more we ignore it. These are not concepts that you can ignore and make them go away, they are forever right behind you. His visceral writing may be off putting for many, but an avoidance of his arguments only speaks to an unwillingness to step outside the comfort of your own personal prejudices. A behavior that does nothing to dismiss his stance, and instead reinforces it. Ho voluto avere nella mia biblioteca cartacea questo libro da poco uscito in una nuova edizione Bompiani, in testo a fronte. Quasi mille pagine. Il libro in altre edizioni lo si può trovare in rete e scaricare il testo gratis. Sono varie le edizioni, ma questa curata da Sossio Giametta mi sembra la più aggiornata oltre che moderna. Ho letto diverse recensioni su GR in lingue diverse e non mi resta che dire la mia su di un libro il cui autore all'inizio scrive che ha "fondato la sua causa sul nulla". Ma poi si scopre che parla della vita dell'uomo, degli uomini antichi e quelli moderni. Scrive degli ossessi, dello spirito e della gerarchia, dei liberi, del liberalismo politico, di quello sociale e di quello umanistico. La prima parte la dedica all'uomo. La seconda invece si occupa dell'io. Individualità propria, l'individuo proprietario, la sua potenza, i suoi rapporti, il godimento di se stesso. Alla fine arriva al nocciolo: "l'Unico". Una causa fondata su di esso, anzi su di lui: il NULLA. Ma per Stirner evidentemente il "nulla" vale per il "tutto". Se devo sintetizzare il suo pensiero dirò che Stirner è abbastanza arrogante da cercare di rispondere ai canonici "chi-cosa-quando-dove-perchè" riguardanti l'uomo e la sua vita. Ci riesce? Non lo so. So che ha avuto il coraggio di provarci senza mai tradire il suo IO, la sua entità, il suo individualismo, che per alcuni è chiamato anarchia, per me invece è solo ricerca. Se date una occhiata alle etichette che ho scelto per classificare questo libro, vi renderete conto di quello che contiene questa opera scritta in pieno ottocento, da un tizio che è stato malfamato ed esaltato, considerato repellente, sguaiato, spaccone, smargiasso, degenerato, zotico, egomane, psicopatico grave, sgradevole, sofista, nauseante ... potrei continuare. Per me resta un genio. Vi assicuro che nonostante gli abbia assegnato tutte quelle etichette, questo Max Stirner, che poi non si chiamava nemmeno così, è stato tanto assaltato quanto esaltato. Leggerlo in testo a fronte per me è una salutare avventura. Una opportunità, per rispolverare quella lingua che è tanto infernale quanto speciale, la mia "ur-sprache".

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.
