Egoism and Nihilism
Egoism was not influenced by Nihilism as Nihilism is a philosophy constructed by Nietzsche in the late 19th century After Stirner's death. In no way could Nihilism have influenced Stirner or the creation of Egoism. If anything it could be argued that Nihilism was influenced by Egoism, although even this is contested and remains unclear. It's certain that Nietzsche read Stirner's works, but what's uncertain is what extent Nietzsche took ideas from Egoism, if any. Popedesu
