Bryan Magee interviews Peter Singer on Hegel and Marx

This is from Bryan Magee’s famous series Conversations with Famous Philosophers from the episode in which Magee talks with (an unrecognisably young!) Peter Singer on Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) and Marx.

Marx’s philosophy was influenced by Hegelianism, and, when Hegel’s movement split, Marx was attached to the left Young Hegelians and abandoned Hegel’s idealism for materialism.
