Stirner thread

>Entire life philosphy basically boils down to never submitting to anything or anyone, be it societal norms, gods, even yourself
>You must form a detachment to everything, because it might serve to subjugate your ego

Personally I've have only read a bit of what Stirner is about, but damn he seems retarded. Dont get me wrong, he says some interesting things about the left-Hegelian movement of his time, but what the fuck is this guys deal?

Reading a bit about his life just makes his philosophy and life seem so damn pathetic.
Can someone enlighten me about Stirner?

Wow. When I first read this reply it seemed like bullshit, but the more I think about it, the more it makes sense. He formed a detachment to everything because he was tired of it limiting him or his way of expressing himself. He despised religion, specifically Protestantism, precisely for this reason, as the chief moral of Protestantism contra Catholicism is the internalized feeling of guilt/wrongdoing one feels, something, which Stirner argues to be far worse than that of the external guilt one is subjected to in catholicism(at the time). This makes sense, as it permeates all one thinks and does, thusly, more greatly limiting the individual.

Poor guy. Everyone hates him as well.
He just wanted to be left alone...

He is the hidden kingpin, the last boss of philosophy. Philosophers are extremely hush-hush about him. Call them Stirnerites and they will recoil in horror: "We've been found out."

Case in point:
>Franz Overbeck's (Nietzsche's friend) wife Ida remembered in 1899 that she had a conversation with Nietzsche 20 years ago where he let slip that he felt a spiritual kinship with Stirner. "A solemn expression then came over his face. While I looked attentively at his mien, it changed again, he made something like an apotropaic, dismissive gesture with his hand and said whispering: "Well I told you, and I didn't want to speak about it. Forget it. One will speak of plagiarism, but you won't, I know that."

>detachment
So he's more of a Buddhist-type rather than the edgy Übermensch that philosophy memes commonly portray him as?

He's a meme

No, the memes are right, "nirvana" is a spook.
