 Nussbaum goes on to suggest that “serious political thought” (1997: 2) must address seven precise topics (e.g., “procedural justification” [“procedures…that legitimate and/or justify the resulting proposals” for “political structure”], “gender and the family,” and “justice between nations”) — most of which, of course, Nietzsche does not address. (Marx does not address most of them either.) Instead of drawing the natural conclusion — Nietzsche was not interested in questions of political philosophy — she, surprisingly, decries his “baneful influence” in political philosophy (1997: 12).
