To me, the intentions of political philosophy is to understand the purpose of politics. The study of what is necessarily for organized society to exist, and why it's necessarily. From Socrates to Baudrillard, it has been explained man's nature and what it takes to keep order. What the people expect from authority, what the authority demands of the people.
When we can understand these things more comprehensively, we can better govern ourselves. We may create an orderly society safe for everyone, while still keeping as many individual freedoms as possible.
