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 poor in a flat above the family clothing shop, where in his early years he shared a bed with his elder sister, Joan.[2][3] He was close to his father but had a difficult relationship with his abusive and overbearing mother.[4][5] 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.[3] Dur
