EGO (1982)

EGO (1982) is the second long-running journal edited by Sidney E. Parker. Though an issue of Minus One (1963) was named “EGO”, and a few issues of this run are titled “The Egoist”, the numbering was reset at EGO Nr. 1 in 1982 and is sequential until EGO No. 16/17 in 1994.

Many scans of the cover (or first page) of Ego below are from the Libertarian Microfiche Publishing project, but will be replaced with original scans as I’m able to. You’ll note that some contain handwritten notes by John Zube, the proprietor of LMP.

UoE Notes:

Parker gave a lecture to the Lewisham Humanist Group titled “Nietzsche – antichrist?” on November 26th, 1981. I assume this is at least a strong approximation of the talk he gave.
