Stirner On Egoism

I believe that Stirner is an ethical or normative egoist as well as a psychological egoist. He probably is a rational egoist too.

For the unique one to remain free, Stirner rejects too prescriptive a set of what we must do to be ethical persons, but is normative egoism, is, I assert, implied.

Still, Stirner as Mr. Anti-Abstractions of any kind,  a weird kind of moderate (he advocates all abstractions and little, and refutes all abstractions a little, simultaneously so that none of these ideas become objective and subdue the free self), will not allow the essence of Egoism or too much sensual pursuit of pleasure or greed to sicken or restrict the self. Still, he wants humans to be natural and take enjoyment and have fun with themselves.
