Nonconceptually Lived

 

I am reading the introduction to Max Stirner’s book, Stirner’s Critics, translated by Wolfi Landstreicher, with an introduction on Page 19. I will quote a sentence from McQuinn with its remarkable footnote from the bottom of the page added: “Instead it begins from his own and by implication each individual person’s own particular, phenomenal, uniquely lived experience.19

 

19. Neither of course, does it begin from any particular fixed idea of what each person’s uniquely lived experience is supposed to be. It begins from that experience as it is nonconceptually lived.”

 

The Unique person or ego lives his life NONCONCEPTUALLY: do you think foundationalists like Aristotle or Descartes would agree with that statement, but that statement is Stirner’s anthem, and he is dead serious?
