Start with this.
>How did he manage to refute Shankara, Plato, Plotinus, Aquinas, Guenon, Evola, Kant, Hegel and Marx?
He was able to recognize the Spirit for what it was: a mere apparition, a ghost needing exorcising. Thus, Stirner was able to retroactively refute almost all the philosophers and mystics throughout history. His non-dualism allows him to effortlessly refute dualists, pluralists and monists alike - leaving only the unspeakable, nameless Unique at the forefront. Commies, socialists, “anarchists,” fascists, Butterfly and jannies all fear him.

Quite the obvious one

This was really underwhelming
I understand why Stirner was important in anarchist tought but he's literally just a contrarian pseud.
>HURR DURR EVERYTHING NOT ME IS BAD >:(
No wonder he was a loser in real life lmao

any other books that are not as good as the memes that were inspired by it?

Petty bourgeois individualist intellectual is spot on. Not that Stirner was wrong, but he certainly was a navel gazer, the cover of pic related is enough to convey, he was obsessed with his own butthole. Most men take egoism as a given and then move on to greater affairs, but not he, it's almost like he felt the need to justify his own egoism, what a spook that would be.

I want to read this book, but what is the best translation of this?

Is this the best edition or is it the Cambridge version? You can never go wrong with a Cambridge edition its just that this title seems more proper
