Here, Will and Adam from Acid Horizon engage in a discussion on a simultaneously well known and largely overlooked enigmatic figure in the history of German philosophy, idealism and its discontents, and even insurrectionary anarchism, Max Stirner.

What is at stake in Stirner’s The Unique and its Property? How are we to understand Stirner’s heterodoxical approach to anarchy?
