$40.44
Max Stirner's The Ego and Its Own is a radical exploration of individualism that dismantles all external authorities, including religion, morality, and the state. Stirner argues that abstract ideals, which he calls “spooks,” dominate human life by demanding submission to illusions. In their place, he proposes the sovereign individual, guided solely by self-interest and personal will. The work is provocative, irreverent, and deeply philosophical, challenging readers to confront the foundations of belief and obligation. Both celebrated and controversial, it has influenced anarchism, existentialism, and post-structural thought, offering a fierce defense of personal autonomy against all forms of imposed identity.
