Introduction to Max Stirner | The Ghost Philosopher

Max Stirner may not be very well known in college classrooms, however, he has become an internet icon with philosophy students. This video will give a basic introduction to Max Stirner including his biography and his philosophy.
Stirner is connected to the philosophy of egoism which focuses on the individual and your individual concerns. Many people, according to Stirner, are possessed by these fixed spiritual ideas. One of the main ideas of critique for Stirner is Christianity, but abstract ideas like "peace", "justice", and "humanity" are also considered spirit ideas. Like God, you can't point to something and say "that it justice." These essences are not to be of concern for Stirner, but instead, one's concern should be one's own.
Although arguably not making a big impact in the history of philosophy, Stirner's unique radical philosophy has made him famous in the culture of modern philosophy.
