Men of Ideas was a 1978 BBC television series presented by Bryan Magee. There were 15 episodes, in which Magee interviewed noted philosophers. The first episode was called "Introduction to Philosophy" and presented by Magee in discussion with Isaiah Berlin. In subsequent episodes Magee discussed topics like Marxist philosophy, the Frankfurt School, and modern Existentialism. Extensively revised versions of the dialogues within the Men of Ideas series were originally published in a 1979 book of the same name that is now titled Talking Philosophy. DVDs of the series are sold to academic institutions with the title Contemporary Philosophy (neither Men of Ideas nor Magee's 1987 series The Great Philosophers is available for purchase by home users but most of the episodes from both are freely available on YouTube).
