The only one and his property. Stirner M.

Max Stirner (1806–1856) - a German philosopher, for a long time was a follower of George Hegel and his students - the Mladogegelians. It is considered the founder of the philosophy of individualistic anarchism and the predecessor of existentialism and postmodernism. Frederick Nietzsche later borrowed many of his ideas.

The main work of Max Stirner “the only and his property” is a radical criticism of Christianity, nationalism and morality, on the one hand, and on the other hand, humanism, liberalism and socialism. The philosopher denies all traditional values ​​and fully justifies human egoism, which is for him the embodiment of personality freedom.
