non serviam #15 *************** Contents: Editor's Word Dora Marsden: Thinking and Thought S.E. Parker: Comment to Ken Knudson *********************************************************************** Editor's Word _____________ I am delighted to include an essay by a female champion of egoism in this issue of Non Serviam, made available electronically by another egoist woman, Sunniva Morstad.

Like Stirner, she builds a case for egoism through a criticism of the absoluteness of language - a thought which should not be unfamiliar for the many on Non Serviam who have adop...

Flygare: "To My Sweetheart" Svein Olav Nyberg: The Choice of a New Generation *********************************************************************** "TO MY SWEETHEART" - With an Addition to Bartlett Wm. Flygare On this 150th birthday of The Ego and His Own (1844, dated 1845), what intrigues me is the dedication. What was Mary's contribution to John-n-Mary's only issue - a book? Stirner (42.2; p358) speaks of using life up like a burning candle. In the John-n-Mary romance - a roman candle - their wedded life (1843-1846) ended in her long-life life-long rancour against a "sly" man whom she "ne...

This issue (#13), and issue 14, do together contain the last issue of Sid Parker's "Ego", whose place in the world is now taken over by Non Serviam, and it is also a proper demarcation of the establishing of Stirner in Cyberspace.

Ones first attention to Stirner very often comes from political or ideological motivations. And so, with the expectation of finding an author whose idea is a flaming insurrective rhetoric, one finds - just that. And if one is a critic,...

non serviam #6 ************** Contents: Editor's Word Ken Knudson: A Critique of Communism and The Individualist Alternative (serial: 6) *********************************************************************** Editor's Word _____________ There are three main proponents of egoism known today, Max Stirner, Friedrich Nietzsche and Ayn Rand. Each of them has a very distinct approach to egoism. While Rand has a very conceptual approach, asking "who is the right beneficiary of a man's action" [1], Stirner takes an almost opposite path, rejecting any "justification" outside himself, in that the root of his egoism is to find in the einzige - the ...
