why is he so overlooked in the humanities?
honestly the more I read about egoism the more ahead of its time it seems, even compared to any of the existentialist shit of the 20th century.

someone must have rattled your brain as an infant.

>> No.12369002

He btfo the current moral hegemony. A society is a multiplicity constructiom of action data, where different act system propogate themself. Becuase theese systems seek to propgate their act data, any attempt at destroying them, Stirnerism, is quickly eliminated in fleshspace.

>> No.12369014

>>12368985
But the Übermensch is a spook, the Egoist just is. On anticlericalism Stirner would be closer to Sorel. Also neetzsche wasn't really amoral, he disliked what he termed "slave morality" and saw value in a higher more noble sort of valuation.

>why is he so overlooked in the humanities?
What he proclaims is almost trivial if you assume a properly and consistently materialistic perspective on human beings. This perspective infuriates most humanities thinkers to no end, so when they read Stirner, they consciously or unconsciously interpret him in the most retarded way possible and then treat him as an evil retard (which he wasn't). And for those who want some edge Nietzsche is way more attractive for reasons already stated in the thread.

>> No.12369157

>>12368690
Because humanities are the study of spooks by spooked people. They are, by the very word, the study of collectivists materials. It requires a collectivist mindset to appreciate humanities.
That's not to say a stirnerist can't use collectivist principles to his own benefit, but if universities taught egoism, theyd likely lose some of the sheckle bag students and possibly cause a widespread egoist revolution in society, which wouldn't bode well for the existing hierarchy.

>> No.12369226

Stirner's emphasis on the Ego (by which we mean the separate, thinking being) was taken from Fichte (through Hegel), who took it from Descartes (through Spinoza and Kant), who in turn was inspired by St. Augustine.
Stirner's rejection of everything that is not his own as a spook is preceeded by Cartesianism and Pyrrhonism.
The idea that the ego is ultimately motivated to fulfill its desires was already present in Hegel, Spinoza, Hobbes, the Stoics, even the Bible.
Unlike Kant or Hegel, Stirner never came up with anything more complex than the spook. Philosophers do not use things that cannot be used to analyse or classify things. People like Stirner are seen as iconoclasts for this reason.

yikes. you might as well just say everything from western philosophy came from the dao. it would be more accurate too as the dao was penned by long before any of the things you talked about and still holds more truth.

stirner's philosophy is unique within the western world but it's not a philosophy you teach to drones it's something the ruling elite who controlled society intuitively understood which you can see by their actions. they don't want you to be their competition so why would they spread the word? you don't teach sheep how to bite when you're the shepherd.

Saint Max was mostly Marx nitpicking Stirner's language (which to be fair, Stirner's usage was somewhat clumsy) and then talking past Stirner because their focuses are so far apart while failing to understand the joke behind his work (no, the stages of man and society were not meant as serious developmental milestones; he was very obviously making fun of Hegelian dialectics, and the real meat of his work was using dialectics to construct an ideal that fundamentally undermines the Hegelian project).
