If the affirmation of non-moral goods like self-interest and power constitutes a positive evaluative stance, then Stirner is not outside normativity but is advancing a competing first-order normative theory.

Stirner(history of philosophy): Max Stirner (1806-1856) was a German philosopher who argued that individuals should prioritize their own interests and reject social constraints, emphasizing radical personal freedom and self-interest.
evaluative stance(the kind of stance Stirner takes): A position or viewpoint about what is good, bad, valuable, or worthless.
first-order normative theory(what kind of theory Stirner would be advancing): A theory that directly argues *what we should do* or *what is good*, rather than just talking about what morality is (a first-order theory makes actual claims about right and wrong, not just analyzes them).
non-moral goods(Stirner's alternative evaluative framework that replaces conventional morality): Actions and desires that are to be assessed positively but do not involve obligations to others and are therefore not moral in Stirner's sense
