The first was \u003ci\u003eSpinoza: Liberator of God and Man\u003c\/i\u003e in 1933, and the second was \u003ci\u003eSpinoza Against the Rabbis\u003c\/i\u003e in 1937. This new edition combines them both for the first time, newly typeset and designed. Written in the luminous, piercing style that has made Benjamin DeCasseres famous, you see in this book the mighty struggle of Spinoza with Intolerance, the serene pantheist at work polishing his lenses, and, above all, the interior of a mind, in eleven chapters, that is like an excursion of the Spirit of Man in high mental altitudes. Benjamin DeCasseres brings to the light in this book hitherto unknown aspects of the doctrines of Spinoza: his liberation of God from the shackles of anthropomorphism, his glorification of the Will-to-Power, and his divinization of the Ego of the individual man. In the chapter entitled “Anathema!” DeCasseres has with a dramatic power only equaled in the pages of Victor Hugo or Merejkovsky pictured the excommunication from the Jewish Church of Benedict de Spinoza. Spinoza, at last, lives in this book. For it is the drama of a great soul written by a man who has the blood of Spinoza in his veins.\u003chr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin DeCasseres\u003c\/strong\u003e (1873-1945) was an Ironist, Critic, Poet, Epigrammist, Polemicist, God.

He was a comrade of H.L. Mencken, Charles Fort, James Huneker, George Sterling, Don Marquis and is a distant relative of Spinoza. His writing was published in a wide range of periodicals from Benjamin Tucker’s radical anarchist Liberty, to the mainstream Life. He could be found in the pages of the New York Times, among other newspapers.","brand":"Underworld Amusements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299414556741,"sku":"","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/SpinozaCover-09-20-2018.jpg?v=1585490144"},{"product_id":"sa1130-the-false-principle-of-our-education-max-stirner","title":"The False Principle of Our Education | Max Stirner | SA1130 | Ltd.Ed.66","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"The False Principle of Our Education\" \u003cbr\u003eHalf-page, saddle stitched. \u003cbr\u003e66 copies \u003cbr\u003e20 pages, self cover. \u003cbr\u003eSA1130\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Union of Egoists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299403841605,"sku":"SA1130","price":3.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/SA1130-FalsePrinciple.jpg?v=1585490148"},{"product_id":"the-myth-of-natural-rights-the-portable-l-a-rollins","title":"The Myth of Natural Rights: The Portable L.A.

Smith once described \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Natural Rights\u003c\/i\u003e as “a scathing, all-out attack.” This was not hyperbole. First published in 1983 by Loompanics Unlimited, L.A. Rollins’ incisive monograph sought not merely to dethrone the doctrine of natural law that had come to dominate libertarian discourse, but to upend the very foundations of moral philosophy. Describing himself as an “amoralist” and an “egoist of sorts,” Rollins echoed Stirner alone in his insouciant refusal to genuflect before the reigning pieties of intellectual fashion.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWhile few readers would embrace Rollins’ intractable moral skepticism, his short book struck a powerful chord. As the text was discussed and occasionally reviewed in marginal periodicals, it gathered an almost scandalous aura, eliciting both approbation and excoriation for its lacerating critique of natural rights theory – particularly as exposited by such libertarian luminaries as Murray Rothbard, Tibor Machan and Ayn Rand.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nIn 1985, \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Natural Rights\u003c\/i\u003e would become a central exhibit in a spirited debate that spanned several issues of Samuel Konkin’s New Libertarian magazine. The forum included contributions by Robert LeFevre, Murray Rothbard, Sidney Parker and Robert Anton Wilson, along with a reply by L.A. Rollins himself. Although Rollins’ engagement with the libertarian cognoscenti would soon come to an end, the dam had broken.\u003cbr\u003e\r\nThis definitive reissue of \u003ci\u003eThe Myth of Natural Rights\u003c\/i\u003e features a new introduction by Kevin I. Slaughter and has been extensively supplemented to include all of the relevant essays that originally appeared in \u003ci\u003eNew Libertarian\u003c\/i\u003e, along with extant commentaries and rejoinders by L.A. Rollins. It is the second volume in \u003ci\u003eThe Portable L.A.Rollins\u003c\/i\u003e, a series devoted to republishing the authors writings after his death in 2015.\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\"\u003ci\u003eThe Myth Of Natural Rights\u003c\/i\u003e is an important libertarian work for both theorists and practitioners. It can serve several useful purposes. It can liberate libertarians from morality and the outreach burden of explaining to nonlibertarian moralists why libertarian moralizing is “better” than their present moralizing. It arms libertarians with analytical techniques and tools that can be applied to dismantle other, non-libertarian moralities. Finally, it can free libertarians and others from the shackles of moral “duty,” enhancing everyone’s potential for happiness and pleasure.\" --Jorge Amador \u003ci\u003eThe Pragmatist: A Utilitarian Approach\u003c\/i\u003e Vol. 2, No. 1 (September 1984)","brand":"Underworld Amusements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299446308933,"sku":"","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/TMONR-Cover.jpg?v=1585490153"},{"product_id":"max-stirner-versus-karl-marx-individuality-and-the-social-organism-philip-breed-dematteis","title":"Max Stirner Versus Karl Marx | Philip Breed Dematteis | SA1120","description":"Max Stirner Versus Karl Marx: Individuality and the Social Organism \u003cbr\u003ePhilip Breed Dematteis \u003cbr\u003e6 x 9\", 190 pages, perfect bound \u003cbr\u003eSTAND ALONE SA1120\u003chr\u003eA new edition featuring a new author's preface.\u003chr\u003eKarl Marx and Max Stirner sought to overcome their mentor Georg Hegel in opposing ways, and by opposing each other.

Stirner.\u003c\/i\u003e traces the development of relativist thinking as exemplified in the three philosophers of its title. Protagoras is the originator of relativism with his dictum “Man (the individual) is the measure of all things”. This in turn is taken up by Stirner and Nietzsche. Of the two, however, Stirner is by far the most consistent and for this reason Lachmann places him after Nietzsche in his account. For him Stirner surpasses Nietzsche by bringing Protagorean relativism to its logical conclusion in conscious egoism-the fulfilment of one’s own will.\r\nIn fact, he views Nietzsche as markedly inferior to Stirner both in respect to his style and the clarity of his thinking. “In contrast to Nietzsche’s work,” he writes, \u003ci\u003eThe Ego And Its Own\u003c\/i\u003e “is written in a clear, precise form and language, though it avoids the pitfalls of a dry academic style. Its sharpness, clarity and passion make the book truly shattering and overwhelming.” Unlike Nietzsche’s, Stirner’s philosophy does not lead to the replacement of one religious “spook” by another, the substitution of the “Superman” for the Christian “God”. On the contrary, it makes “the individual’s interests the centre of the world.”\r\nIntelligent, lucid and well-conceived, Lachmann’s essay throws new light on Stirner’s ideas.\r\n—Sidney E.

With the intention of developing a higher form of state and society and of mankind in general, it leads to the cultivation of separate individuals who direct the masses as leaders. At all times, however, the idea of the “state,” “community” or “humanity” stands as a goal at the end of the way. This was the path taken by Protagoras and Friedrich Nietzsche.\r\nThe second way rises up more steeply and more boldly than the first. “As each thing appears to each man, so is it for him.”\r\nVia the dissolution of the “state” and of “humanity,” it leads to the possibility of giving the individual the right to decide his own values, of making the individual’s interests the centre of his own world and making him master over the things in it. This was the path taken by Max Stirner.","brand":"Underworld Amusements","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299392766021,"sku":"SA1090","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/photo_2018-09-18_17-02-00.jpg?v=1585490164"},{"product_id":"millenarian-rebels-a-crime-called-freedom-writings-of-os-cangaceiros-2-volumes","title":"Millenarian Rebels \u0026 A Crime Called Freedom | Writings of Os Cangaceiros, 2 Volumes","description":"OS CANGACEIROS was a group of delinquents with nothing but contempt for the self-sacrificial ideology practiced by \"specialists in armed struggle\".

The distinction lies in the fact that the Free Spirits did not see the millennium as something that was going to come soon, but as something that already existed within them. Their perspective was not apocalyptic — aiming toward a future end of the world — but rather based in the immediate present. This is why the Free Spirits, while still using religious language, actually attacked the foundations of religion: dependence on an external supernatural power, hope in a heavenly future, faith in an external source of salvation.\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\nWolfi Landstreicher is the editor of the insurrectionary anarchist journal Willful Disobedience and publisher of Venomous Butterfly Publications.

Sullivan | SA1060 | Lt.Ed. 66","description":"A beautiful facsimile made from high resolution scans of an original copy of the 1975 booklet. 17th issue of the egoist journal “Stand Alone”. What is Man's Destiny? by Laurance Labadie introduction by Mark A. Sullivan 5.5″ x 8.5″, Saddle-stitched Limited to 66 copies.\u003chr\u003eLaurance Labadie begins with the thesis that the State was born under conditions of scarcity, and survived at the expense of other states and its own subjects. Labadie applied egoist Benjamin R. Tucker’s critique of monopoly to a world Tucker declared doomed. Going beyond the “plumb line” of his mentor, Labadie’s portrayal of “civilization” before close of the Twentieth Century is a rival to any nightmare of Orwell. Laurance was the son of anarchist labor advocate and publisher Joseph A. Labadie, and the last true connection to Benjamin Tucker and the group of individualists known as the “Boston Anarchists.” “What Is Man’s Destiny?” was first published in the fourth quarter, 1970 issue of \u003cem\u003eThe Journal of Human Relations\u003c\/em\u003e. The current form is a facsimile of Mark A. Sullivan’s pamphlet edition released in 1975, which included his typed and mimeographed introduction stapled to actual offset prints of the original essay. At the end of the essay is an excerpt from economist Hugo Bilgram’s book \u003cem\u003eThe Cause of Business Depressions\u003c\/em\u003e, and then an editorial statement on that excerpt to place it within the context of Labadie’s essay. The latter was probably written by Don Werkheiser, who was editor of the journal from 1968 to 1971. Mark A. Sullivan published the egoist\/gay\/anarchist journal \u003cem\u003eThe Storm\u003c\/em\u003e from 1976 to 1988. He was also heavily involved in the Mackay Society, which was dedicated to publish and distribute the work of German anarchist John Henry Mackay. His introduction to “What is Man’s Destiny?,” dated November 1975, was completed only four months after Laurance died. Sullivan would later expand this introduction, with the help of Mildred J. Loomis of the School of Living, into the essay “Laurance Labadie: Keeper Of The Flame.” It was included in a 1986 collection of essays titled \u003cem\u003eBenjamin R. Tucker and the Champions of Liberty\u003c\/em\u003e. Sullivan co-edited the book with Mike Coughlin and Charles H. Hamilton. The original version of the biographical essay was published in \u003cem\u003eAnarcho-Pessimism: The Collected Writings of Laurance Labadie\u003c\/em\u003e (Ardent Press, 2014).","brand":"Union of Egoists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299391586373,"sku":"SA1060","price":2.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/SA1060-MansDestiny-COMPLETE-1.jpg?v=1585490171"},{"product_id":"sa1055-max-stirner-s-egoism-and-nihilism-larry-alan-schiereck","title":"Max Stirner's Egoism and Nihilism | Larry Alan Schiereck | SA1055","description":"During the early 1970s a ‘revival’ took place of the philosophy of Max Stirner, born Johann Caspar Schmidt (1806-1856), whose book \u003ci\u003eDer Einzige und Sein Eigentum\u003c\/i\u003e has been called a ‘revolutionary anarchist manual’, a ‘Banker’s Bible’, a ‘structural model of petit-bourgeois self-consciousness’ and other names since its appearance in 1844. \r\nThe revival produced the most comprehensive study of Stirner in English to that date, R. W. K. Paterson’s 1971 \u003ci\u003eThe Nihilistic Egoist: Max Stirner\u003c\/i\u003e. While Paterson undertook to review \u003ci\u003eDer Einzige\u003c\/i\u003e as substantive philosophical discourse, paradoxically, and theologically, he would conclude that Stirner was doing metaphysics, to the point of a solipsistic frivolity. \r\nThis study examines the fascinating but ultimately unsuccessful, if not buffoonish, case against Stirner by Paterson. I conclude that we should rethink Stirner not as metaphysician but as social critic and educator, a “root”, ground-level or primal thinker, more relevant today than ever. And that his ideas and principles are ready to be spread and put to work now in criticism, current events and art. \r\nIn this revision my purpose is to de-trivialize Stirner, tweak the paradigm further and introduce new material, with a view to reviving Saint Max where he belongs - in the company of heretics such as Chamfort, Nietzsche, Mark Twain, Ambrose Bierce, George Orwell, Joseph Heller and George Carlin, to name a few.","brand":"Union of Egoists","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31299391160389,"sku":"SA1055","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/Egoism-and-Nihilism-Schiereck.png?v=1585490171"},{"product_id":"max-stirner-bibliography","title":"Max Stirner Bibliography","description":"written\/edited by Trevor Blake\n\u003cp\u003e216 pages, 8vo,\u003cbr\u003eISBN 978-1944651015.\u003cbr\u003ePublished by OVO.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne hundred years of Max Stirner in print, beginning in 1845 with the publication of \"The Ego and Its Own.\" Exhaustively researched.

Subversive, radical and extreme texts will always obtain hostile receptions from those targeted by their critiques, whether the critiques are accurate and justified or not. The book is rather simply - though very cleverly - written with very little use of technical terminology. And Stirner goes out of his way in an attempt to use common language wherever possible, though he often does so very creatively and idiosyncratically. It is also a fairly demanding text for anyone (including nearly every contemporary reader) who is unfamiliar with the cultural background within which it was conceived, written and published. It is possible for it to be read and appreciated without knowledge of this background, however the prospect of adequate understanding - not only of the central points but also their extensive implications - definitely recedes the less a reader is familiar with topics like nominalism, phenomenology, hermeneutics, analytical and dialectical logic, and critiques of religion, ontology, epistemology, ideology and language that were current in Stirner's day. From the moment Stirner's text first appeared, it directly and fundamentally challenged every religion, philosophy and ideology. It didn't just politely challenge every existing historical religion, philosophy and ideology, which would already have been enough to have made its author many enemies.

It is a statement that the individual is the measure of all things and establishes the foundation that existentialism, egoism, and nihilism are built on. Every group, every collectivity, demands collaboration with a set of rules and expectation, with a morality. Stirner provokes us to acknowledge our own capacity, as well as the capacities of those around us.

From the translators introduction: I made this translation for those who rebel against all that is held sacred, against every society, every collectivity, every ideology, every abstraction that various authorities, institutions, or even other individuals try to impose on them as a \"higher power,\" for those who know how to loot from a book like this, to take from it those conceptual tools and weapons that they can use in their own defiant, laughing, mocking self-creation, to rise up above and against the impositions of the mass. In other words I did this translation for those who know how to treat a book not as a sacred text to either be followed or hermeneutically dissected, but as an armory or a toolbox from which to take whatever will aid them in creating their lives, their enjoyments...

Sie ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die beiden Hauptinitiatoren der sog. Stirner-Renaissancen erstaunlicherweise entschiedene Gegner Stirners waren. Paul Lauterbach, der Herausgeber der Reclam-Editionen von 1892ff, war glühender Nietzscheaner, und Hans G. Helms, der 1968 die erste (stark gekürzte) Ausgabe des »Einzigen« nach 1945 edierte, war dogmatischer Marxist (wie auch Ahlrich Meyer, der den seit 1972 bei Reclam wieder ungekürzt erscheinenden »Einzigen« herausgab und kommentierte). Von besonderem Interesse ist dabei: 1) Welche Motive hatten diese Männer, sich vehement für die Publikation einer von ihnen für extrem gefährlich gehaltenen, dabei jeweils fast vergessenen Schrift einzusetzen? 2) Wie ist ihr Aktivismus sinnvoll als Ausweichen vor Stirner zu interpretieren?\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eStirners »Einziger« war, ohne dass er als Bestseller auffiel, nicht nur ein buchhändlerischer, er war auch -- versteht man HIT im eigentlichen Sinne als Schlag oder Treffer -- ein intellektueller Hit, und hier nun im vollen Wortsinn ein heimlicher. Denn er bewirkte seit seinem ersten Erscheinen sowohl bei den wichtigsten seiner direkten Adressaten (Feuerbach, Ruge, Engels, insbesondere Marx) als auch bei vielen seiner späteren Leser geistige Erschütterungen, die sie sorgsam vor der Öffentlichkeit verbargen (und schliesslich, verdrängend, auch vor sich).

Eines ist allen diesen Denkern gemein: Sie haben Stirners »Einzigen« durchaus nicht geringgeschätzt, sind aber einer tieferen, argumentativen Auseinandersetzung mit ihm ausgewichen, stillschweigend oder wortreich. Die Rezeptionsgeschichte des »Einzigen« war, wie die hier gebotene Synopse eindrucksvoll demonstriert, eine Re(pulsions- und De)zeptionsgeschichte.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDie möglichen Gründe dafür werden in diesem Band nicht erörtert. Im Laufe der Untersuchung zeichnet sich jedoch ab, dass es inhaltlich um das zentrale, gleichwohl heute mehr denn je gemiedene Problem neuzeitlicher philosophischer Reflexion geht: um die schleichende Paralyse und Verkümmerung der \"Aufklärung\" synchron mit ihrem (vermeintlichen) Siegeszug. Um ein Problem von dieser Dimension (theoretisch) anzugehen, wird später zu zeigen sein, in welchen grösseren historischen Kontext Stirner zu stellen ist: mittels weiterer Studien des \"LSR-Projektes\", welches hier in einem abschliessenden Kapitel umrissen wird.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBernd A.

Nov. 1994). Schmitt und Jünger, die oft in einem Atem als langjährige Freunde genannt werden, reagierten zu verschiedenen Zeiten und auf gegensätzliche Weise auf Stirner. Während im Falle Schmitt Stirner von Jugend an ein stark verdrängtes \"Arcanum\" seiner intellektuellen Entwicklung war, dessen Aufdeckung (u.a.) ein besseres Verständnis einiger seiner auch für Kenner oft \"änigmatisch\" gebliebenen Begriffe und Philosopheme ermöglicht, liess sich Jünger erst in hohem Alter und nicht ohne insgeheim sarkastischen Bezug zu jener Haltung Schmitts betont \"nonchalant\" und scheinbar affirmativ auf Stirner ein. Der Band enthält zudem ein (inhaltliches) Kapitel über Stirners zentrale \"Gestalt\" des \"Eigners\", um zu zeigen, dass sowohl Schmitts als auch Jüngers zentrale \"Gestalten\" zu ihr im Gegensatz stehen.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Other","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44278679830811,"sku":"","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/0461\/0117\/products\/IMG_20230121_084646_109.png?v=1674309036"},{"product_id":"the-radical-book-shop-of-chicago-kevin-i-slaughter-ltd-99-signed-numbered","title":"The Radical Book Shop of Chicago | Kevin I.

Not the cruelty — the flinch. \"You cannot say that wolves generally eat lambs and that it is their duty as wolves,\" he complained, \"without sending a shudder of horror through the crowd.\" \u003cem\u003eOn Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, lifted from his late and unrepentant \u003cem\u003eLe chemin de velours\u003c\/em\u003e, is the Symbolist master of \"the dissociation of ideas\" laying his scalpel against the one idea no one is permitted to touch: the universal, obligatory morality of pity that even Christianity's loudest enemies, he noticed, take pains to leave intact — would sooner make heavier than lighten.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eHis quarrel is not with faith but with sentimentality, with a \"middling happiness\" that sacrifices liberty first and calls the bargain salvation. (\"The terrestrial ideal of humanity smells of the pigsty, as its celestial ideal smelt of the stable.\") He has no patience for the patrician who kneels to the religion of slaves—\"the apostates of their caste and their race\"—and a cold admiration for the few who dare to say \u003cem\u003e\"My justice is my strength,\"\u003c\/em\u003e and who prove it. Readers of this catalog will know the phrase. Aldington's faithful rendering of «ma justice, c'est ma force» is, idiomatically, nothing other than \u003cem\u003eMight is Right\u003c\/em\u003e—the motto Max Stirner armed and Arthur Desmond made notorious. Gourmont reaches the same precipice by the velvet path: not a manifesto, but an essayist's quiet, surgical dissociation of a thing his century had glued shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\"\u003eThe translator is no accident. Richard Aldington—Imagist, early hand at \u003cem\u003eThe Egoist\u003c\/em\u003e under Dora Marsden—moved in exactly the milieu of intellectual independence and cheerful heresy Gourmont's prose demands, and would go on to render the Frenchman for English readers at length. (Gourmont, returning the favor across the Channel, had introduced France to Benjamin DeCasseres—no stranger to this catalog.) This edition annotates Gourmont's idiosyncratic vocabulary—his pre-biological \u003cem\u003erace\u003c\/em\u003e, his aristocratic \u003cem\u003eliberty\u003c\/em\u003e, his juridical \u003cem\u003eequity\u003c\/em\u003e—restoring the precision the polemic runs on, and that a careless century has smeared.
