Hawt, but Stirner is better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 month ago

I'm still like 80% sure Stirner was invented by Engels for Marx to get mad at, there's too many anecdotes about his life that read like 1800s jokes.

Who are 2 and 4? Schopenhauer and Marx i recognized.

[–] PugJesus 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

2 is Friedrich Nietzsche

4 is Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius, who also wrote Meditations, a long-lasting Stoic text

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

Thank you! I even read Marcus Aurelius, but I wouldn't've recognized him.

Schopenhauer? I dunno. Maybe Friedrich Hayek.
