To clarify something:
If I remember correctly, Stirner influenced Nietzsche. Maybe a Philosophy major can expound for us.
Not quite. Nietzsche never read Stirner, though he was certainly familiar in passing with his ideas, owing to a few notes jotted down in the
Nachlass; rather, they both represent a current in post-Hegelian Germanic thought - a reaction against the dialectical process Hegel introduced into philosophy. Stirner took Hegel's approach and inverted it, positioning the individual at its center, and Nietzsche went one step further with it, using dialectics to negate the entire process.
