何についての本か
個人に犠牲を求めるいっさいの大義——神、国家、人類、道徳——への一八四四年の攻撃。おのれの上に何ものも認めない「私」の名において書かれている。
背景と歴史
ドイツ語の原題は「Der Einzige und sein Eigentum」。「唯一者」とは傑出した者の意ではなく、繰り返しのきかない者、いかなる範疇にも括られない者の意である。シュティルナーの見るところ、啓蒙は仕事を半分でやめた。神を取り除いたその場所に、人間・国家・道徳を据えたからだ。いずれも劣らず犠牲を要求する亡霊である。バイイントンによる一九〇七年の英題「The Ego and His Own」は誤解を招く。心理学でいう自我の話ではない。この書がマルクスとエンゲルスの『ドイツ・イデオロギー』を招き、そこで数百ページを費やして反論された。個人主義的アナキズムの源流の一つでもある。

What is not supposed, to be my concern[2]! First and foremost, the Good Cause,[3] then God's cause, the cause of mankind, of truth, of freedom, of humanity, of justice; further, the cause of my people, my prince, my fatherland; finally, even the cause of Mind, and a thousand other causes. Only _my_ cause is never to be my concern. "Shame on the egoist who thinks only of himself!" Let us look and see, then, how they manage _their_ concerns--they for whose cause we are to labor, devote ourselves, and grow enthusiastic. You have much profound information to give about God, and have for thousands of years "searched the depths of the Godhead," and looked into its heart, so that you can doubtless tell us how God himself attends to "God's cause," which we are called to serve. And you do not conceal the Lord's doings, either. Now, what is his cause? Has he, as is demanded of us, made an alien cause, the cause of truth or love, his own? You are shocked by this misunderstanding, and you instruct us that God's cause is indeed the cause of truth and love, but that this cause cannot be called alien to him, because God is himself truth and love; you are shocked by the assumption that God could be like us poor worms in furthering an alien cause as his own. "Should God take up the cause of truth if he were not himself truth?" He cares only for _his_ cause, but, because he is all in all, therefore all is _his_ cause! But we, we are not all in all, and our cause is altogether little and contemptible; therefore we must "serve a higher cause."--Now it is clear, God cares only for what is his, busies himself only with himself, thinks only of himself, and has only himself before his eyes; woe to all that is not well-pleasing to him! He serves no higher person, and satisfies only himself. His cause is--a purely egoistic cause.
