- Owner's entry on first free endpaper; occas. marks in blank margin in blue pencil. Otherwise fine.

= The very rare second edition of Stirner's main work. "Both the form and content of Stirners major work are disconcerting. He challenges his readers expectations about how political and philosophical argument should be conducted, and shakes their confidence in the moral and political superiority of contemporary civilisation. Stirner provides a sweeping attack on the modern world as increasingly dominated by "religious" modes of thought and oppressive social institutions, together with a much briefer sketch of a radical "egoistic" alternative in which individual autonomy might flourish. The historical impact of The Ego and Its Own is difficult to assess, but Stirners work can be said: to have had an immediate and destructive impact on the left-Hegelian movement; to have played an important role in the intellectual development of Karl Marx (1818-1883); and to have subsequently influenced the political tradition of individualist anarchism." (quoted from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy website: https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/max-stirner/).
