Der Ayntsiger Un Zayn Aygenum [Yiddish]

By Stirner Max 1806-1856

Der Ayntsiger Un Zayn Aygenum (The Ego and Its Own), by Max Stirner, is a foundational text in individualist anarchist and egoist thought. Originally published in German in 1844, this Yiddish translation makes Stirner's radical critique of societal and governmental structures accessible to a new audience. Stirner challenges conventional morality and advocates for the individual's absolute freedom and self-ownership. He posits that individuals should reject all external authorities and ideologies, embracing their unique "Ego" as the sole source of value and decision-making.

This work remains a controversial and influential contribution to political philosophy, prompting readers to reconsider their relationship with the state, society, and their own sense of self. It has resonated with anarchists, existentialists, and libertarians, and continues to spark debate about the nature of freedom and the limits of social obligation.
