About this Item

Vintage Hardcover with DJ, First Thus, 1963, Libertarian Book Club, 366 pages. Near Fine, in a VG+ DJ. Just a hint of shelf/edge wear to teal cloth boards with gilt titles - corners sharp. Just a touch of shelf/edge wear to grey paper DJ with dark brown titles - now in mylar. Spine is lightly sun-darkened. Only flaws to the DJ are one repaired chip to the bottom of the spine and a sticker shadow at the top r/h corner of the front panel. No previous owner markings - all pages are clean and unmarked. Credited with influencing the philosophies of Nietzsche and Ayn Rand and the development of libertarianism and existentialism, this prophetic 1844 work challenges the very notion of a common good as the driving force of civilization. By examining the role of the human ego, author Max Stirner chronicles the battle of the individual against the collective ? showing how, throughout history, the latter invariably leads to oppression. A superb copy in a VG+ DJ. LOC.
