I was once in an advanced political philosophy seminar with a bunch of other grad students, and the reading we were to discuss that week was the libertarian philosopher Robert Nozick’s book, Anarchy, State, and Utopia. None of us in this seminar were able to mount any plausible arguments against Nozick, not because he’s correct, but because we had so little experience arguing against anything that far right. Everyone in this room was a reasonably intelligent and articulate philosophy PhD student, but we’d all cut our teeth dissecting the little squabbles between Rawls and Habermas, and we had no experience arguing against anything as far right as the political views that most Americans actually hold.View source
