Egoism & Taoism: Resisting Commodification
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 23 июл 2024
- Hey everyone.
Here is this Sunday's video!!!
In this video I analyze the two fundamental texts of Taoism - Zhuangzi and Tao Te Ching - in juxtaposition with Stirner's The Unique and its Property (The Ego and its Own) in terms of stylistic approaches, and ponder on why and how Max Stirner's Egoism has resisted commodification as much as it has.
I hope you enjoy.

Another great video, thankyou. I also just want to say that you clearly deserve way more views and subscribers.
I really enjoyed reading your written essay. That said, the video format allows more of a connection with the essay. Prior to acquiring The Ego and His Own I acquired the Tao Te Ching. It is unfortunate Taoism has become commodified.
Word
Great video, Daoism and Egoism have many connection points, and it's nice to see this niche covered!
I'd like to add as a Daoist researcher, that Daoism also has an authoritarian interpretation that has been historically somewhat dominant.
Sounds fascinating.
Amazing Video! I do have the feeling, the more Video-Essays you do the better they become, keep it up!
Thank you
Love this video. Have you ever explored Camus and his Absurdist philosophy? I think it relates very well to Taoism, Egosim and Deleuzian thinking as well.
@@willthryn497 i have. I could make a video essay about the similarities though. you can sign up for free on my Patreon and vote on the topics or you can pledge and choose topics for the weekly videos, if you are interested. I will keep this in mind either way though.
Btw, I'd love to know (if possible) where I could get a physical copy of Wolfi Landstreicher's new translation of The Unique and It's Property. I live in the UK tho.
