1907 (1st Edition in English) THE EGO AND HIS OWN Max Stirner Anarchism Nihilism

Description: Stirner, Max. [Steven T. Byinton, trans.] The Ego and His Own. New York: Benj. R. Tucker, 1907. First American edition, first printing, with no statement of printing on the title page. Stirner's magnum opus, a post-Hegelian savaging of Christianity, morality, liberalism, socialism, etc. Long considered one of the most controversial works in the history of Western philosophy, the title was banned in numerous cities upon its first publication in German in 1844. It was not brought out in English until this edition in 1907, when famous egoist/ individualist anarchist Benjamin R. Tucker put out this edition. Max Stirner is often seen as one of the forerunners of nihilism, existentialism, psychoanalytic theory, postmodernism and individualist anarchism. Please check out the photos for the condition and please don’t hesitate to ask any questions! Thanks for looking! There’s a small sticker for the 1909 Portola Festival and I did some research: In 1909, three years after the devastating earthquake, San Francisco was looking for a way to celebrate the rebirth of the City and show that it was ready for large events and tourists again. They hit upon a festival to honor Portola as a way of demonstrating this. The first Portola Festival occurred October 19-23, 1909. The first day featured “Portola” entering the Golden Gate and “landing” at Pier 2. A parade proceeded down Market Street from there featuring military members from several countries and the Portola “dragoons.” While we don’t have a date for the image above, it is likely from the Portola Festival military parade given the men dressed like Portola’s dragoons on horses. They estimated crowd size was nearly a million people.
