FRR is expanding our scope by attempting a larger project. Instead of doing one podcast on a book we are doing a slow/deep/close reading of Wolfi Landstreicher’s translation of The Unique and Its Property by Max Stirner. We attend a reading group together which is slowly working its way through the book, so every other week we will read a portion of Stirner, attend reading group, then record a podcast on the section we read and the thoughts and ideas that came up during reading group. We will rotate different hosts through the series of podcasts. We are doing this because we would love to have had this type of discussion available to us when reading some of the books that we love the most, so we are doing it ourselves. We are also attempting to do a close reading which means to read something more than once, many times over, taking notes, discussing it, and engaging deeply with it. Feel free to email us or comment on this page if you have thoughts/feelings/whatever about it!

In Episode 1 we discuss the following:

Is there an individual/self. Stirner is not an individualist? It is not an individualist book
Relationship between Taoism and Stirner
Can anyone actually be an egoist?
Rydra strong arms the conversation and questions objective reality through Stirner
Abritrary nature of values and a transient idea of an “I”
Can nihilism/egoism be separated
Talk of translation in general
How do we apply the implications of this reading
