The Ego and His Own: The Case of the Individual Against Authority

Credited with influencing the philosophies of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand and the development of libertarianism and existentialism, this prophetic 1844 work challenges the very notion of a common good as the driving force of civilization. By examining the role of the human ego, author Max Stirner chronicles the battle of the individual against the collective-showing how, throughout history, the latter invariably leads to oppression.Stirner, Max is the author of 'The Ego and His Own: The Case of the Individual Against Authority' with ISBN 9780881890044 and ISBN 0881890049.
