An Introduction to the Life and Philosophy of Max Stirner with Dr. Wayne Bradshaw (James Cook Uni)

[@MartinJenkins-c9d]

Stirner continues to fascinate. Lots to think about by individually (!). Thanks for this. History is created by 'strong' individuals, the masses play a subordinate role.

Well done, Wayne!

In Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness: A New Concept of Egoism", two chapters by her colleague, Nathaniel Branden, are severely critical of Stirner and Nietzsche. Chapter 5: 'Isn't Everyone Selfish'. Chapter 18: 'Counterfeit Individualism'.

Nicolai Stravrogin, a character in Dostoevsky's novel "The Possessed", could be seen as an answer to Stirner's Conscious Egoism. Stavrogin realises that his ego (self) is nothing but the product of instinct mitigated by enculturation.
