Ego and His Own

Written by: Max Stirner
Listen for free

In his most renowned work, Max Stirner makes a powerful philosophical assertion for radical egoism, rejecting the socially-focused perspectives of both mainstream ideologies and revolutionary movements in favor of an uncompromising individualism. Although often discussed through the lens of other philosophers, such as Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels—who famously critiqued it in The German Ideology—Stirners ideas resonate deeply on their own. This book invites readers to explore its lyrical prose and confront its provocative philosophical challenges, making it a timeless read that continues to spark debate and reflection.
