The Skeptic

 

Max Stirner was a strong skeptic. He was not a pure skeptic, a solipsist, for he did believe that the outside world existed. He just did not think we could generalize about it, gain knowledge of it, or posit foundational premises about its nature: we use it and others for our personal interest, but we cannot say anything general about reality.

 

He was a pure subjectivist for personal experiencing and conscious enjoyment of living and being was all, and all abstractions or generalization about that experience were conceptualized spooks that did not exist.
