Exploring Stirner's Egoism

The episode delves into Max Stirner's work, particularly his book 'The Ego and Its Own,' and the arguments he presents concerning individualism and egoism. Stirner challenges traditional notions of morality and values that are derived from society or religion, positing instead that true individuality and value come from the self. He suggests that values cannot be universally defined as they are shaped by personal experience and perception. This leads to a discussion on the implications of removing an objective social point of view in ethical considerations, highlighting the difficulties in establishing a coherent system of values without external validation.
