Eh, I didn't find it super readbable. He doesn't make much of an effort to be super clear.

Understood most of it, unclear on the spirit stuff, which apparently can be mended by reading Hegel.

accessibility is a spook

I was inspired when I learned of the daughter of Gaia who volcanos were named after

>>6379074
I choose this name. Is that ok?

>>6379104

Would you be pronouncing it in the Greek (Kirké) or Latin? (Sirsay)

>>6379172
Hmm, Greek I suppose since I took the name from The Odyssey. Either is fine though—how you internally pronouce things is up to you. Haha...

It was trippy finding out the original titan god of the ocean was named Okeanos

>>6379207
a surprisingly large amount of our words come from them (some filtered through latin)

It is although it will be fairly dry and the references and humor will be lost.

Somewhat, it's really hard to sort of get his conception of the creative nothing and the unique unless you well-understand german idealism and dialectics.

When he says "ataraxia" or "tranquility", he's directly referring to Sextus Empiricus, when he says "get out of my sun", diogenes, he references the greeks in other ways too, but these don't have significant impact on the whole of the work

>>6378550
the two most important philosophical trends are pyrrhonian skepticism, and then understanding what was significant about the change from kant to the german idealists, e.g. how they argued against kant and why. Stirner himself mocks the "thing in itself", or the "thing that is not a thing", placing him squarely in the idealist camp of the time, and so I'd suggest you read the wikipedia/SEP articles on Sextus Empiricus and German idealism if you want what I feel is the most necessary framework to understanding Stirner

Read the book before posting.

not your thread

>How accessible is this book?
Very. You're supposed to skim it in an hour then mercilessly refer to any concept as a "spooky" on a Thai Lakorn appreciation forum.

Then you watch a video of Zizek on youtube and alternate between "spooky" and "pure ideology"; the latter usually reserved for anything you disagree with.
