Bryan Edgar Magee (12 April 1930 – 26 July 2019) was a British philosopher, broadcaster, politician and author best known for bringing philosophy to a popular audience.

Early life

Born of working-class parents in Hoxton, London, in 1930, within a few hundred yards of where his paternal grandparents were born, Magee was brought up in a flat above the family clothes shop, where he shared a bed with his elder sister, Joan.<ref name=obit/> He was close to his father but had a difficult relationship with his abusive and overbearing mother.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/><ref name=":1"/> He was evacuated to Market Harborough in Leicestershire, during World War II, but when he returned to London, much of Hoxton had been bombed flat. Magee was educated at Christ's Hospital school on a London County Council scholarship. During this formative period, he developed a keen interest in socialist politics, while during the school holidays he enjoyed listening to political orators at Speakers' Corner, Hyde Park, London, as well as regular visits to the theatre and concerts.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/><ref>{{

At Oxford, Magee had mixed with poets as well as politicians and in 1951 published a volume of verse through the Fortune Press. The publisher did not pay its writers and expected them to buy a certain number of copies themselves – a similar deal had been struck with such writers as Dylan Thomas and Philip Larkin for their first anthologies. The slim volume was dedicated to the memory of Richard Wagner, with a quote from Rilke's Duino Elegies: ... das Schöne ist nichts als des Schrecklichen Anfang, den wir noch grade ertragen ("... beauty is nothing but the beginning of terror, that we are still able to bear").<ref>Magee, B. (1951), Crucifixion and Other Poems, London, Fortune Press</ref> Magee said later: "I'm rather ashamed of the poems now, although I have written poems since which I haven't published, which I secretly think are rather good. It has always been a dimension of what I do."<ref name="guardian.co.uk">{{

His deep admiration of the country's equality of opportunity was expressed in a swift series of books, Go West, Young Man (1958), The New Radicalism (1963) and The Democratic Revolution (1964).<ref name=times/>

Politician

Template:Infobox officeholder

He returned to Britain from Yale in 1958 with hopes of becoming a Labour Member of Parliament (MP). He twice stood unsuccessfully for Mid Bedfordshire, at the 1959 general election and the 1960 by-election, and instead took a job presenting the ITV current affairs television programme This Week. He made documentary programmes about subjects of social concern such as prostitution, sexually transmitted diseases, abortion and homosexuality (illegal in Britain at the time).<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/> Interviewed in 2003, Magee said:
British society was illiberal in a number of areas that are now taken for granted... Roy Jenkins changed them and he was bitterly opposed by the Tories. But if you were liberal with a small L there was a menu of social change and I believed very strongly in that whole liberal agenda.<ref name=classical>{{

He was eventually elected MP for Leyton at the February 1974 general election, but found himself out of tune with the Labour Party's traditional social democratic tendencies under Michael Foot.<ref name=classical/> On 22 January 1982 he resigned the Labour whip and he subsequently (in March 1982) joined the defection of rightwing Labour MPs to the newly founded Social Democratic Party. He lost his seat at the 1983 general election and returned to writing and broadcasting which, indeed, he had continued during his parliamentary career.<ref name=classical/>

He returned to scholarship at Oxford, first as a fellow at Wolfson, then at New College. He also found more time to write classical music reviews and worked on his own compositions. He admitted that, while his own work was "whistleable", it was also "inherently sentimental".<ref name=times/>

Broadcaster and writer

Magee's most important influence in popular culture were his efforts to make philosophy accessible to the layman. In 1970–71, he presented a series for BBC Radio entitled Modern British Philosophy. The series took the form of Magee in conversation with a number of contemporary British and American philosophers, discussing both their own work, the work of earlier 20th-century British philosophers (and Ludwig Wittgenstein and Karl Popper), and the relationship between philosophy and other fields such as religion and the arts."<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/> The series began with an introductory conversation between Magee and British philosopher Anthony Quinton. Other programmes included discussions on Bertrand Russell, G. E. Moore and J. L. Austin, and the relationship between philosophy and religion, among others. The transcripts of the series are available in the book Modern British Philosophy.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/> Magee's novel Facing Death, published in 1977, was originally written under the title Love Story.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/>

In 1978, Magee presented 15 dialogues with noted philosophers for BBC Television in a series called Men of Ideas. Following an "Introduction to Philosophy", presented by Magee in discussion with Isaiah Berlin, Magee discussed topics like Marxist philosophy, the Frankfurt School, the ideas of Chomsky and modern Existentialism in subsequent episodes. Transcripts of the dialogues within the Men of Ideas series are available in published form in the book, Talking Philosophy.<ref>{{

Another BBC television series, The Great Philosophers, followed in 1987. In this series, Magee discussed the major historical figures of Western philosophy with fifteen contemporary philosophers. The series covered the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and Descartes, among others, ending with a discussion with John Searle on the philosophy of Wittgenstein. Transcripts of The Great Philosophers are available in published form in a book of the same name. The Story of Thought (also published as The Story of Philosophy) also covers the history of Western philosophy.<ref name=times>{{

For many years Magee undertook roles on boards and committees. In 1994 he dramatically resigned as chairman of the Arts Council music panel when pressured to make cuts.<ref name=classical/> Magee could be both arrogant and vain, however, and was particularly dismissive of Christians, claiming that their religion gave them "false selfconsolation".<ref name=times/>

Later work and interest in Wagner

In 1997 Magee's Confessions of a Philosopher was published, which essentially offered an introduction to philosophy in autobiographical form. The book was involved in a libel lawsuit as a result of Magee repeating the rumour that Ralph Schoenman, a controversial associate of Bertrand Russell during the philosopher's final decade, had been planted by the CIA in an effort to discredit Russell. Schoenman successfully sued Magee for libel in the UK, with the result that the first printing of the British edition of the book was pulped.<ref>{{

His book, The Philosophy of Schopenhauer (first published in 1983 and revised in 1997)<ref name=":0">Template:Cite news</ref> remains one of the most substantial and wide-ranging treatments of Schopenhauer; it is particularly appreciated for its several essay-appendices in which Magee assesses in-depth his influence on Wittgenstein, Wagner and other creative writers. He also addresses Schopenhauer's thoughts on homosexuality and the influence of Buddhism on his philosophy. He regards the work as the closest to his "academic magnum opus".<ref name=":0" />

Magee had a particular interest in the life, thought and music of Richard Wagner and wrote two notable books on the composer and his world, Aspects of Wagner (1968; rev. 1988), and The Tristan Chord: Wagner and Philosophy (2001).<ref>{{

In 2016, approaching his 86th birthday, Magee had his book Ultimate Questions published by Princeton University. Writing in The Independent, Julian Baggini said "Magee doesn't always match his clarity of expression with rigour of argument, sometimes ignoring his own principle that the feeling 'Yes, surely this must be right' is 'not a validation, not even a credential'. But this can be excused. Plato and Aristotle claimed that philosophy begins with wonder. Magee is proof that for some, the wonder never dies, it only deepens."<ref>Template:Cite news</ref>

In 2018 Magee, who was then living in one room in a nursing hospital in Oxford, was interviewed by Jason Cowley of New Statesman and discussed his life and his 2016 book Ultimate Questions. Magee said that he believed he lacked originality and, until Ultimate Questions, had struggled to make an original contribution to philosophy, saying:
Popper had this originality, Russell had it, and Einstein had it in spades. Einstein created a way of seeing things which transformed the way we see the world and the way we even understand such fundamental things as time and space. And I fundamentally understand that I could never do that, never. I wish I was in that class – not because I want to be a clever chap but because I want to do things that are at a much better level than I've done them.
He explained that he followed the news and politics closely and that he considered the vote for Brexit to have been a "historic mistake".<ref>{{

Personal life and death

In 1953, Magee was appointed to a teaching job in Sweden and while there met Ingrid Söderlund, a pharmacist in the university laboratory. They married and had one daughter, Gunnela and, in time, three grandchildren. Magee later said:
The marriage broke up pretty quickly and it was a fairly disastrous period of my life. I came back to Oxford as a postgraduate. But since then Sweden has been a part of my life. I go there every year and my daughter visits me. I always assumed that sooner or later I'd get married again but it never quite happened, although I had some very long relationships. And now I don't want to get married again. I like the freedom.<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/>

His autobiography, Clouds of Glory: A Hoxton Childhood, won the J. R. Ackerley Prize for Autobiography in 2004.

Magee died on 26 July 2019, at the age of 89, at St Luke's Hospital in Headington, Oxford. He is survived by his Swedish daughter Gunnela and her children and grandchildren.<ref>{{

Interviewed in 2003, Oxford contemporary William Rees-Mogg recalled "we never knew which way Bryan would jump. And as his life later demonstrated, there was always a question of whether he was basically at heart an intellectual or someone interested in public life. So it wasn't a surprise that he went into public life, but the intellectual was really the predominant element in his personality and the books seemed to represent the real Bryan more than the political activity did."<ref name="guardian.co.uk"/>

Writing in The Article following Magee's death, David Herman said:
Magee was clear, calm and made the hardest of ideas seem accessible, without ever talking down to his audience or being simplistic. Above all, he knew his subject, covering a huge range of ideas over a vast period of western thought. The interview with Isaiah Berlin, “An Introduction to Philosophy”, is a masterpiece: Berlin at his peak, in full flow, is exhilarating.<ref>{{
