The Creative Nothing Zine

A project of The Paradox Literary Magazine (see other related projects).

About

The Creative Nothing is the literary wing of The Unspooked Project, a broader effort to bring Max Stirner’s egoism out of the dusty corners of philosophy and into the hands of the people.

The Creative Nothing is an online zine dedicated to exploring the work and legacy of Max Stirner and his philosophical contributions through a variety of creative and intellectual lenses.

This e-zine exists to uplift egoist voices. This includes writers, essayists, critics, artists, memers, propagandists, thinkers, and creators who want to discuss their experiences, analyses and critiques of a world that promotes idea of serving ideals.

We publish work that unmasks spooks, resists identity traps, and speaks from the self rather than for a cause.

We welcome submissions that include art, memes, comics, digital and non-digital art (drawing, paintings, designs), think pieces, essays, research, reviews and more.
