Max Stirner Series

Johann Kaspar Schmidt, better known as Max Stirner, was a German philosopher considered one of the literary grandfathers of nihilism, existentialism, postmodernism, and anarchism, particularly individualist anarchism. His seminal work, first published in 1844, serves as a foundational text for understanding his radical philosophy. Through his writings, Stirner explores themes of individual liberty and ownership, rejecting external authorities and emphasizing the uniqueness of each 'ego' and its possessions. His influence continues to resonate in thought that challenges societal norms and institutions.
