Concepts in Focus: The Unique and the Creative Nothing

In the latest edition of our Concepts in Focus series, our
resident Stirner researcher Adam gives an overview of his
conclusions so far regarding the meaning of two of Stirner's key
notions; The Unique, and the Creative Nothing. Here, Adam draws
upon his doctoral research into Stirner's work as well as his
historical roots in Hegelianism, Hegel's Logic, and the
Left-Hegelian circles of his time. As a result of this work, he
articulates the Creative Nothing as a theory of nihilistic
ontogenesis, the origin of Being from its relationship to
nothingness, and describes the Unique as the fundamental moment
of non-identity in every form of identification, as well as in
every attempt in which dominant powers try to produced fixed and
inescapable modes of subjectivation. We hope you enjoy.
