About this book
A reassessment of the controversial, yet still influential nineteenth-century German philosopher that explores the contentious issue of whether he was, as his critics frequently claim, a nihilist.

Reviews
Professor Saul Newman, Goldsmiths, University of London:
This book is a comprehensive and convincing rejection of the commonplace view of Stirner as a nihilistic thinker. Based on rigorous and extensive scholarship from German and English sources, the book develops an original interpretation of Stirner as a hedonistic and iconoclastic demythologizer who seeks to free us from illusions and false beliefs. The book makes a valuable contribution to "Stirner studies" and will go a long way to rehabilitating this influential yet often neglected figure.
