In this course
Max Stirner was a 19th-century German philosopher of radical egoism and anti-statism whose thought provides conceptual ammunition for critiquing authority structures in technological systems. In these course readings, he appears to anchor a lineage of anti-authoritarian thought that the WCFR and related countercultural movements invoke when positing alternatives to hierarchical, dogmatic organization—whether in religion, politics, or presumably in the networks and systems the course examines. His influence surfaces as a philosophical precursor to the decentralized, non-conformist ethos that runs through cybernetic and artistic responses to institutional control.
