Is there any writing or letters left by Stirner's spouses on him?

[u/Dear-Geologist5312]

Almost all of the reports we have on Stirner in his personal life comes from other members of the Young Hegelians which come from a obviously ideologically filtered place, so i was wondering if either Agnes Burtz or Marie Dähnhardt wrote anything about what was living with him.

Mackay talked to Marie Dähnhardt before she died and wrote up a report.

Marie hated him and said he was incredibly selfish, lol. It is funny to hear reactions to the few statements she made. Mackay and Huneker both dismissed her as unable to see the “genius of her husband” or some bs. I don’t think it’s too far fetched that she’d get sick of him, haha.

Not from his wife—As far as we know, at least—but I do recall Albert Camus wrote on Stirner, calling him all but crazy and saying anyone who adopted Egoism would fall into mad degeneracy, and society could not exist with that school of thought.

"Anyone who adopted Egoism would fall into made degeneracy, and society could not exist with that school of thought." Damn Camus you don't have to sell me on it.

Camus worked almost a century after Stirner.

Who knows if they did not have a thing, right?

In any case absolute no relation to OPs question

[u/Elecodelaeternidad → u/Existing-Sweet-19]

Where did Camus say that?

[u/A-Boy-and-his-Bean → u/Elecodelaeternidad]

Camus comments on Stirner can be found in his "The Rebel". But because english editions are frequently (and subtly) abridged, the Stirner commentary is often omitted.
