The Ego and His Own


Leído por LibriVox Volunteers

(3.4 stars; 37 reviews)

In this book, his most famous, Max Stirner presents a philosophical case for a radical egoism that shuns the socially-oriented outlooks of both "establishment" ideologies and of revolutionaries in favor of an extreme individualism. The book is most widely talked about today only through the lens of other philosophers' thought: Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels launched a famous assault on it in The German Ideology, and some draw a connection between Stirner's thoughts here and Nietzsche's egoism a generation later. But it is worth reading in its own right, as much for its lyricism as the challenge of its philosophical proposals. (Summary by Mat Messerschmidt) (18 hr 26 min)

Reseñas


(2 stars)

Great book but not a very good recording. Horrible background noise (especially the last section), horrible pronunciation by the female who read most of the second half (if you cannot pronounce "communism/communist", then you shouldn't attempt to read such a book), and horrible editing.


(3 stars)

Sound quality is lacking and the editing is jarring at times.

eeriely relevant


(5 stars)

it amazes me how coming into this book I already felt the things that were explained in this book. the idea that we are people whose ideas of self are pregenerated by how we are nurtured and the ideologies we worship is pretty prophetic. the idea that government and to an extent even society have merely become quasi religions and that anyone who does not follow them are heretics. true individualism is neither exploited or exploiting but simply self-affirming. even if one is not an egoist or an anarchist should read this book at least for the psychological analysis of individualism within social Dynamics. my only major complaint is that some of the narration in the audio is distracting at times with people either having very thick regional accents or poor audio mixing. if one can see past that and there's really no issue.

Great book but lots of different poorly recorded narrators
