Eğitimimizin Sahte İlkesi Ya Da Hümanizm ve Realizm
Max Stirner, anarşist, egoist, ve nihilist olarak anılan bir düşünürdür. “Das unwahre Prinzip unserer Erziehung� adıyla basılan bu Almanca eser, 1842 yılı Nisan ayının 10-19 arasında “Rheinische Zeitung”un dördüncü sayısında ek olarak yayınlanmıştır. “The False Principle of Our Education� başlığıyla İngilizceye Robert H. Beebe tarafından çevrilmiştir. “Eğitimimizin Sahte İlkesi� başlığıyla da biz Türkçe’ye çevirdik. Kitabın çevirisinde hem İngilizce çeviri hem de Almanca aslı göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. Stirner’in eğitimin temel işlevine ve sorunsallarına yönelik kaleme aldığı bu eser düşünürün kısa çalışmalarından en değerli ve en önemli olanıdır. Bu kısa çalışmayla Stirner, sosyal meselelerin kutsallaştırılan eğitim meselesiyle yakından ilgili olduğunu ve bunun kurumsal bir yapı olan okulla da şekillendirildiğini ifade etmektedir. Eğitim felsefesi açısından, eğitimin mahiyetine ilişkin yapılacak olan değerlendirmelere bu çalışmanın katkı sunacağı kanaatindeyiz. Toplumsal sorunlar adına konuşmanın zor olduğu bir dönemde, sorunların maniple edilip gizlendiği bir çağda, çeşitli siyasi, dini, ahlaki ve felsefi referanslardan dolayı sorunlara dokunmanın ateşle oynamak olduğu bir süreçte, Stirner sorunları çözme adına değil, sorunları görme ve onların kökenlerini irdeleme adına gayret göstermiş bir düşünürdür.

About the author
Max Stirner
54books541followersJohann Kaspar Schmidt, better known as Max Stirner (the nom de plume he adopted from a schoolyard nickname he had acquired as a child because of his high brow, in German 'Stirn'), was a German philosopher, who ranks as one of the literary grandfathers of nihilism, existentialism, post-modernism and anarchism, especially of individualist anarchism. Stirner's main work is "The Ego and Its Own", also known as "The Ego and His Own" ("Der Einzige und sein Eigentum" in German, which translates literally as "The Only One and his Property"). This work was first published in 1844 in Leipzig, and has since appeared in numerous editions and translations.

Stirner criticizes humanists and realists both for treating knowledge as something you possess rather than something which gets integrated into your ego and manifested through your (ego-conquered) will. He thinks that a proper education consists of perpetual self-creation and a process of learning how to be free, how to master one's own will, and how to seamlessly integrate knowledge into action. It seems to imply a teaching method more centered around individual self exploration and questioning than memorization, "civilizing", practical/technical learning, or even painstaking analytic thought. A pretty good essay although I'm not sure I understood it all. For instance, I'm not entirely sure what a Stirnerite school would look like. This is really high up on the abstraction ladder. HEY GERMAN PHILOSOPHERS. I'm down here on planet Earth. Why not write something for practical men once in a while EH??

Stirner is laying out a truly worthwhile and fundamental critique of education that exists in service to ideology, to create a person instead of nurturing the creative spirit of a person to create themselves.
Great basis for a self oriented philosophy.

Poorly explained and dully conceived notions of what should be done. "knowledge must die and rise again as will and create itself anew each day as a free person", wrote Stirner, finishing the book with this empty and contradicting sentence. He plays around with conceptions of abstraction and empirical knowledge (promoting the osmosis of the former with the latter) in such a contradicting way, one can only read them as literary devices planned to instigate and appeal. But it is presented in such a confusing, obscurantist way, that it fails to do the latter. This book is an empty new age'ish essay, dripped with racist/sexist/anti-semitic remarks.
It was completely useless for my search of knowledge in the fields of education and/or anarchism (unless for cultural/historical reasons).

Una visione onesta dei falsi principi su cui si basa l'educazione che forma i nostri figli e forma tutti noi. Una conclusione così profonda, che ho percepito al confine tra la filosofia, la politica e la spiritualità. Una visione completa, come dovrebbe essere ogni lettura del mondo, da cui far partire un sistema educativo davvero sano.

Only the spirit which understands itself is eternal.
[...]
Thus the radii of all education run together into one centre which is called personality.

O livro é muito interessante! Trata sobre o princípio libertário na educação. Stirner foi contemporâneo de Marx e Engels, inclusive formando com eles um pequeno grupo de interessados no pensamento de Hegel. Eles frequentavam pubs para beber e debater as ideias do "ás" da filosofia alemã sob uma perspectiva crítica. Stirner centrou sua análise na educação. O autor se preocupou com os rumos das concepções pedagógicas, fortemente influenciadas por um humanismo acrítico, focado no acúmulo do saber, muito mais voltado para a cultura clássica ou, então, voltado para o pragmatismo técnico, limitado à formação do indivíduo como mero operário de uma sociedade industrial.
Para Stirner, a educação deveria ser pautada na formação do sujeito livre, capaz de manter acesa a chama pelo saber e pela busca das paixões e desejos de cada ser. Uma educação que massacra o indivíduo com conteúdos sem se preocupar com os reais interesses dele, ou que limita sua existência a reproduzir fazeres laborais, é uma sentença de morte para o espírito. O que é mais interessante nessa obra é a forma vibrante como Stirner celebra a possibilidade de cada pessoa trilhar seu próprio caminho na construção do saber, como uma forma de ser fiel à essência, ao que nos motiva a viver.

This book is awesome! It brings libertarian principles to education. Stirner was a contemporary of Marx and Engels, and together they formed a small group that met in German pubs to debate Hegel's ideas. Stirner focused his analysis on the essence of education. He was concerned with the pedagogical approaches of his time, noting the strong influences of uncritical humanism, which encouraged students to accumulate knowledge related to classical culture, or pragmatic technicism, which limited education to preparing individuals to be workers in industrial society.
Stirner defends education as a process to help people find their freedom, enabling them to pursue their passion for knowledge according to their interests. An education that burdens individuals with content unrelated to their interests, or limits them to being workers, is a sentence that kills the spirit. The most exciting aspect of this book is how Stirner describes the beautiful process of each person building their mind and soul through the pursuit of knowledge about their interests.

I’m so glad that I didn’t waste my time on “The Ego And Its Own� as it’s over 400 pages, and I dread to think of all the incessant waffle which must permeate it.
This essay basically denounces systemised education, and there’s really not much more to it. If you really want to enrich yourself with knowledge then you have to go above and beyond the dogmatic principles and hierarchies of the institutions and source enlightenment via your own alternative methods.
Stirner is lucky enough to be canonised as a meme, but I would seriously advise anyone who is even contemplating taking him seriously to reconsider.
This stuff is just pompous and verbose.
Don’t waste your time. 😂😂

"If man puts his honor first in relying upon himself, knowing himself and applying himself, thus in self-reliance, self-assertion, and freedom, he then strives to rid himself of the ignorance which makes out of the strange impenetrable object a barrier and hindrance to his self-knowledge."

Vamos a ver, pongamos las cosas en su sitio. Este panfleto no ha de ser juzgado como una obra filosófica de pleno derecho, ni como un librillo incendiario, ni como un intento de tomarle el pelo al personal, que es como lo juzgan la mayor parte de las críticas en este sitio. Este libro es una reseña para un periódico (ni más ni menos que la Gaceta Renana, que acabó sus días siendo dirigida por Karl Marx) de un librito de un tal Heinsius, hoy olvidado, pero que fue parte de una legión de pedagogos que, cada uno armado con su idea redentora, se plantearon ilustrar Alemania a principios del XIX.
Y en ese contexto debe ser comprendido. Las aparentes contradicciones de Stirner (que además atravesaba una etapa excepcionalmente hegeliano-ilusionada con la vida, a juzgar por sus opiniones) son en muchas ocasiones chascarrillos difíciles de pillar fuera del contexto de la filosofía y la política alemanas de mediados del siglo industrial, pero antes que actuar en detrimento del estilo, son pequeñas perlas-bomba que Stirner les dejaba a sus combatidos. Sus ideas son, más o menos, las de los psicopedagogos de ayer y hoy, explicadas con menos verborrea y con más cultura. Y se trata, repito, de un artículo para un periódico.
Lo que me parece a mi es que muchos venimos a Stirner con el chip puesto en que, ya que es un anarquista, escribirá sus panfletos de manera simplista e incendiaria, y claro... no se puede uno llevar a engaño, Stirner podría profesar la fe política que quisiese, pero antes que cuaquier cosa era un filósofo alemán, con toda la multiplicidad de virtudes y defectos que eso implica.

This pamphlet is interesting in light of Stirner's brief stint as a teacher at a girls' high school. Although the detail of the debate are specific to the Prussian educational system of the time, one of Stirner's central points remains valid: if one wants to educate people to be free individuals, one needs to encourage their recalcitrance and their tendencies to rebel...

So many simplifications (a very short work anyway), it's difficult to take it very seriously. Two stars may be an overrating.

A weird libertarian view on education, lot of obscurantism and a lack of real contents. Von Mise might be said to be one of the firt praxeologist. But this pseudoscience is clearly at play with Stirner. Stay away if you want to well manage your time, that gonna give you the time to learn something somewhere else.
