Notes

1. During Marx’s lifetime only the fourth chapter of the ‘Saint Bruno’ section of The German Ideology was published as the ‘Obituary to M. [Moses] Hess’ (the original chapter title) in the Westphälischer Dampfboot, August-September 1947. Engels published a version of Marx’s Thesis on Feuerbach as an appendix to Ludwig Feuerbach and the End of Classical German Philosophy in 1888, but The German Ideology itself was first published in the Soviet Union only in 1932 (in German) and 1933 (in Russian).

2. Sidney Hook’s pioneering work, From Hegel to Marx (New York: Humanities Press, 1950) first published in 1936, devoted a chapter (pp. 165–85) to Stirner and Marx, which does not explain why Marx devoted the best part of a major work to attacking Stirner. (‘Saint Max’ was composed by Marx, not Engels.) Of more recent books, R. M. Tucker’s Philosophy and Myth in Karl Marx (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1967) does not mention Stirner, and Shlomo Avineri’s The Social and Political Thought of Karl Marx (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1970) does not discuss Stirner. The best outline accounts of the dispute in English are those of Nicolas Lobkowicz in Theory and Practice: History of a Concept from Aristotle to Marx (Notre Dame, Ind., University of Notre Dame Press, 1967), pp. 401–426; R. W. K. Paterson in The Nihilist Egoist: Max Stirner (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1971), pp. 101–125; and Jerrold Siegel in Marx’s Fate (Princeton, NJ.: Princeton University Press, 1978), pp. 154–169.

3. Marx and Engels (1938) The German Ideology, trans. Roy Pascal (London, Lawrence & Wishart; New York, International Publishers). The first complete English translations only appeared in 1965 and 1976. Cf. The German Ideology, trans. Clemens Dutt; ed. Salo Ryazanskaya, (London: Lawrence & Wishart, 1965); and a different rendering (the order of the pages in Part 1 differs significantly), also by Clemens Dutt, in the Marx-Engels Collected Works (New York and London: International Publishers, 1976), vol. v. Both translations, which will be referred to hereafter as The German Ideology and MECW v respectively, make use of the textual discoveries of S. Bahne: cf. his ‘ “Die deutsche Ideologie” von Marx und Engels. Einige Textergänzerungen’, International Review of Social History (Amsterdam and Assen), vol. 7, part 1, 1982, 93–104.
