>The ego and its own - Max Stirner
I'm only at the start after reading an introduction and the first chapter. This has been enough to draw my interest. I think I need to backtrack and read some Hegel first, but then I'll start on Hegel and probably have to backtrack further. So instead I'm trying to get a brief enough summary on Hegel first from watching youtube and listening to podcasts before I continue. I want to read Nietzsche at some point, so I'm trying to understand some of his influences and forbearers first.

Which is the best translation?

Looking to buy Ego and its Own by Stirner, is this a good translation/edition? And what kinds of stuff should I read beforehand?
