The true, I dare say it, /ourguy/.

Discuss the philosophy of the most /lit/-philosopher. Why did Nietzsche call him the apostle of virginity? Why is there no English translation? Should we all kill ourselves?

There's no English translation because Ligotti was right. The world knows more about a doof like Weininger than this guy, for a certain reason.

Give me like four years and I'll translate this myself. Gotta write a dissertation and learn German.

Have you read his work? seeing as you don't speak German, I mean.

OP, is there still no translation in English? I know that Stirner recently had a new release come out. Why hasn't someone translated Mainländer?

There is APPARENTLY at least one translation, though I haven't found it. Word-of-mouth and admittedly not very thorough searching on my part.

>you will never translate Mainlander in a freely available .pdf, ensuring that you have actually published same to the internet and making sure that it finds a few interested readers, and actually attaching your real name as translator
>you will never append to this translation, a brief biography and account of Mainlander's philosophy, an accurate repudiation of Nietzsche, and encourage everyone to apply Mainlander's philosophy to their own personal lives
>you will never make a personal turn in same document, specifying that now that your task is complete and you have actually accepted Mainlander's conclusions, you will now apply that philosophy to your personal life
>you will never use the occasion of this translation as your own personal note on where your husk may be found
>your edition will not therefore achieve notoriety in the anglosphere and receive a proper, professional re-printing, with you becoming a small, curious footnote in the history of ideas

Even in the meme-photoshop the sadness still shines through in his eyes. A sight as absurd as when Moe the bartender attempts a smile.

Agreed, I'd say the smiley one even looks sadder than the original
