Max Stirner: Leben, Werk, Wirkung

Description

The Stirner monograph by the renowned researcher Bernd A. Laska, which originally should have appeared in 1982 as Max Stirner in self-testimonies and picture documents at Rowohlt, impresses with an original interpretation of Stirner's main work Der Einzige und sein Eigentum. Central terms of his philosophy such as "egoism", "holy", "owner", "indignation", "club" are explained in their systematic context and with detailed quotations. Laska presents Stirner as a radical enlightener of the highest topicality, whose thinking revolves around the question of individual "value autonomy". Insight inhibiting factors in the sole that have led to all sorts of misunderstandings or a misguided fascination are eliminated and exposed as deliberately built-in misguidance of the censors by Stirner. Max Stirner - Life, Work, Effect meets all the requirements of modern introductory literature. Providing the backed biographical data, as well as a full bibliography of Stirners, Laska analyzes his relationship with Young Hegelianism, and reveals some lines of reception of the single, especially in early Marx. As a supplement to this, the editor has attached Laska's last major essay on the "Repulsion History" Stirners from 2016, which traces the reception lines to the present.
