>If you run into a nihilist just ignore them. If someone wants to believe that then there's no real way of arguing with it, but for those of us who believe there are real objective solutions to political problems political philosophy is the way to find them.
Actual quote from my political philosophy professor
>Democracy is justified by its instrumental value in that it uplifts quality of life, but also by its intrinsic value as it is fundamentally associated with values like freedom, equality and human dignity
Another actual quote from the same guy

Is political philosophy just the theology of the state or something?

>The feeling of guilt, particularly associated with Christianity, is a form of legitimized cruelty turned inwards upon oneself. Nietzsche posits a fundamental human tendency to experience pleasure in inflicting suffering. He assigns the origins of bad conscience to ‘internalization’, in which aggressive instincts, curbed by civilized society, express themselves towards the self.

Was Nietzsche a PSYHCHOPATH?
