Stirner's Standpoint: I Have Founded My Affairs on Nothing
At the beginning of his major work Stirner cites the motto... "I have founded my affair on nothing." Here we have Stirner's basic standpoint in nuce: the negation of any and all standpoints. Nothing, whether God or morality, may be set up as a ground to support the self and its activity. It is in effect a standpoint that rejects standing on anything other than the self itself, a standpoint based on "nothing."
