LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.com. Credited with
influencing the philosophies of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand and the
development of libertarianism and existentialism, this prophetic
1844 work challenges the very notion of a common good as the
driving force of civilization. By examining the role of the human
ego, author Max Stirner chronicles the battle of the individual
against the collective - showing how, throughout history, the
latter invariably leads to oppression. Stirner begins with a study
of the individual ego and then traces its subjugation from ancient
times to the nineteenth century. Nothing escapes his indictment:
the ancient philosophers, Christianity, monarchism, the bourgeois
state; all have fettered individuals with laws, morality, and
obligations. Revolutions expunge one evil only to replace it with
another, and Stirner predicted - years before the publication of
Marx's Manifesto - that socialism would climax in the ultimate
totalitarian state. For students of political science and
philosophy, this book is essential reading. For those concerned
about the encroachment of authority upon individual liberty,
Stirner articulates a philosophy that remains unsurpassed in its
scope.
