About This Item
One of the most enigmatic philosophers
Rare first edition, first printing of a foundational text and philosophical cult classic. Contemporary purple cloth with gilt title on spine, 491 pages and 2 pages of ads. Covers partially discolored and slightly bowed, spotting on spine, title-page toned and stained, a few sporadic foxed spots within the text, faint damp stain on lower margin of last 20 pages, else quite clean and crisp. Some margin notes and underlines in pencil and pen. Overall, a Very Good, sound copy of an important book. Bookplate of German scholar and writer, Hannes Schwenger.
One of 1000 copies. Published in October 1844, the book was initially banned by the local Saxony censors and 250 copies were confiscated, but the ban was soon lifted as the book was deemed too absurd to be dangerous. A ban throughout greater Prussia would remain until the end of the century. Despite the bans, the book became a sensation that provoked vigorous debate. It would have significant influence on Karl Marx and other challengers of modern society's various constructions, and is a foundational anarchist text. Stirner was a key thinker at the heart of Hegel's historically impactful intellectual revolution.
A rare appearance of a work that's become nearly mythical, helped in some part by Friedrich Engel's famous comical drawing of Stirner.
