"The spectacle is not an aggregate of images but a social relation among people, mediated by images."
Guy Record, 'The Society of the Spectacle'

I'm particularly interested in Max #Stirner and his relation to #Hegel, #GermanIdealism, #Marx, #Engels, and #Marxism, #Feuerbach and other #YoungHegelian thinkers, #anarchy and #anarchism, #phenomenology, #existentialism, #situationists like #Debord and #Vaneigem, and #philosophy more generally.
