Stirner - Max Stirner

Japanese: シュティルナー - しゅてぃるなー(英語表記)Max Stirner
Stirner - Max Stirner

A German philosophical writer belonging to the left wing of Hegel. Born on October 25th in Bayreuth, Bavaria. His real name was Johann Kaspar Schmidt. "Max Stirner" (Max the Forehead) was his nickname and pen name. Despite his difficulties, he became acquainted with F. Engels, the radical Bruno Bauer, and his brother Edgar Bauer (1820-1886) in Berlin, and published his major work, "The Einzige and Its Possession," in 1845. In it, he argued that the concepts of state, church, God, morality, and the various orders related to them, as well as humanity, are nothing more than insubstantial ghosts. He declared that he would not be bothered by these mental products that exist only in his head, but would find his unique self, firmly possess it, and live only as this solid self. This work, which advocated thorough individualism, brought him instant fame. However, this was short-lived, and he was forgotten with the German March Revolution of 1848, and died in obscurity in Berlin on June 26, 1856. From the end of the 19th century onwards, he began to attract attention again in connection with Nietzsche's idea of ​​the superman and existentialism.

ヘーゲル左派に属するドイツの哲学的文筆家。10月25日バイエルンのバイロイトに生まれる。本名ヨハン・カスパール・シュミットJohann Kaspar Schmidt。「おでこのマックス」(マックス・シュティルナー)は、あだ名でペンネーム。不遇のなか、ベルリンにおいてF・エンゲルスや急進派のブルーノ・バウアーやその弟のエドガーEdgar Bauer(1820―1886)らと交わり、1845年に主要著作『唯一者とその所有』を出版する。ここにおいて、国家・教会・神・道徳およびそれらに関する諸秩序、それに人間性という概念等は実体のない亡霊にすぎないと論断した。そして自らは、頭の中だけに存在するこれら精神の産物に煩わされることなく、自らにとって唯一無二である自分自身をみいだし、これを確固として所有し、この確固たる自分自身をのみ生きると宣言する。徹底した個人主義を説いたこの著作によって一躍名声を博す。だが、それもつかのま、1848年のドイツ三月革命とともに忘れさられて、不遇のうちに、1856年6月26日ベルリンにて世を去る。19世紀終盤以後、彼はニーチェの超人思想や実存主義等との連関においてふたたび注目されるに至る。
