In this interview, Joshua Yen speaks with Dr. Jensen Suther (Harvard Society of Fellows) about his new book True Materialism (Stanford University Press). The conversation explores how Hegel and Marx can help us rethink the meaning of materialism, freedom, and modern life. Dr. Suther argues that a “true materialism” must unite Hegel’s conception of rational agency with Marx’s critique of capitalist modernity, showing how philosophy’s history can guide social and political reflection today. Together, we discuss Hegelian Marxism, teleology, historical materialism, freedom, and how philosophy continues to shape our understanding of society.
