What's the best english edition of Der Einzige und sein Eigentum?
>>9920202
"The Unique and Its Property" Wolfi Landstreicher.
The one (The Ego and His/Its Own) that everyone has read is fucking shit.

There are literally only two translations, Byington's and Landstreicher's. The primary difference is that only one of those call them spooks. dedspite that Landstreicher's is better desu

Many things. The primary difference is that one (Landstreicher) is translated accurately, with proper nuance. While the other doesn't really capture the depth or intention very well and in some parts pretty much omits or mistranslates some important things. The title itself is an inaccurate translation.
Both will give you the main points. However, Byington's will make the reader take Stirner too literally and too simply. Landstreicher's is superior just on the words chosen for the key concepts alone.

The publisher of this version also puts out a load of fascist and white nationalist bullshit though, if you are really interested in Anarchism you'd have a hard time justifying giving them your money.

the ego and it's own is a way better title though
