The Ego and His Own

"The Ego and His Own" by Max Stirner is a philosophical book that questions society's rules and beliefs by focusing on the importance of being an individual and putting oneself first. Stirner argues against sacrificing yourself for things like religion or doing what others say is right. He thinks people should not blindly follow causes, but instead, look out for their own interests and understand that everyone else is doing the same. The story starts by clearly showing Stirner's strong views and sets the stage for discussions about who we are as individuals and why we should live for ourselves instead of following what society expects.
