A Conversation with Dr. Jensen Suther on True Materialism

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Jensen Suther, Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows, about his new book True Materialism (Stanford University Press).

In this interview, we discuss how Hegel and Marx can help us understand what it really means to be materialist — not in a mechanistic sense, but as a way of thinking about human agency, freedom, and the modern world. Dr. Suther’s insights show how the history of philosophy continues to illuminate our social and political life today.

If you’re interested in Hegelian Marxism, the philosophy of freedom, or the ongoing relevance of classical philosophy for contemporary society, this is a fascinating discussion worth exploring.
