The Ego and His Own

Book •
Max Stirner's 'The Ego and Its Own' is a philosophical treatise that explores radical individualism and challenges conventional social, political, and religious structures.

Stirner advocates for the liberation of the individual from all forms of external authority, including the state, morality, and abstract concepts.

The book introduces the concept of the 'Unique One,' the individual who recognizes their own self-interest as the ultimate guiding principle.

Stirner critiques ideologies and institutions that subordinate the individual to collective identities, advocating for a world where individuals freely associate based on mutual self-interest.

The text has been influential in the development of anarchist and existentialist thought.
