About The Ego And Its Own: Graphyco Annotated Edition
“All things are Nothing to Me.” In the book "The Ego and Its Own", Max Stirner critiques in a rather individualist mannertopics like Christianity, nationalism, traditional morality, liberalism and others.Advocating for an amoral, although not immoral egoism. In the first partof the book he separates life in three stages (Childhood,Youth and Adulthood). He argues that children are restricted by external material forces and upon reachingthe stage of youth they learn how to overcome these restrictionsby what he calls“self-discovery of mind”. But after that comes the stage of youth where peoplebecome restricted by reason and conscience, including religion and nationalism.And in the final stage of adulthood, people become freed from all restrictionsattaining individual autonomy or what he calls “egoism”.This Graphyco edition includes over 50 historical and biographical footnotes.Those notes have the goal to make the book easier to understand.Johann Kaspar Schmidt (1806-1856) or also known as Max Stirner, was a German philosopher who is often considered as one of thepioneers in anarchism, nihilism, existentialism and postmodernism.
