Max Stirner in the Context of the “Individual” for the Studying Abroad Zhou Shuren — Also Discussing “Ka-Gakushi” Enzan Sentaro

LIDONGMU

This paper examines the intellectual influence of Max Stirner on the concept of the “individual” in the context of Zhou Shuren (later known as Lu Xun) during his study abroad period. It particularly details the role of Enzan Sentaro (1877-1954), who contributed to the Meiji-era magazine Nihonjin under the pseudonym “Ka-Gakushi,” in introducing Stirner’s ideas, and explores the potential impact on Zhou’s On the Power of Mara Poetry (Culture Bias Theory). The author identifies “Ka-Gakushi” as Enzan Sentaro and analyzes the influence of his book Modern Anarchism (1902) on Chinese anarchist thought. Additionally, it investigates the relationship between Stirner and Nietzsche in Meiji-era discourse and elucidates how Zhou independently interpreted these ideas to construct the concept of “establishing humanity” (Liren). The study concludes that Enzan’s academic independence and Zhou’s subjectivity played significant roles in their intellectual interplay.
