[83] [In his strictures on "criticism" Stirner refers to a special movement known by that name in the early forties of the last century, of which Bruno Bauer was the princ.i.p.al exponent. After his official separation from the faculty of the university of Bonn on account of his views in regard to the Bible, Bruno Bauer in 1843 settled near Berlin and founded the _Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung_, in which he and his friends, at war with their surroundings, championed the "absolute emanc.i.p.ation" of the individual within the limits of "pure humanity" and fought as their foe "the ma.s.s,"

comprehending in that term the radical aspirations of political liberalism and the communistic demands of the rising Socialist movement of that time. For a brief account of Bruno Bauer's movement of criticism, see John Henry Mackay, "_Max Stirner_. _Sein Leben und sein Werk._"]

[104] [This is a literal translation of the German word _Eigenheit_, which, with its primitive _eigen_, "own," is used in this chapter in a way that the German dictionaries do not quite recognize. The author's conception being new, he had to make an innovation in the German language to express it. The translator is under the like necessity. In most pa.s.sages "self-owners.h.i.+p," or else "personality," would translate the word, but there are some where the thought is so _eigen_, that is, so peculiar or so thoroughly the author's _own_, that no English word I can think of would express it. It will explain itself to one who has read Part First intelligently.]
