I think you got an awful teacher for an interesting course.
Been there done that. Funnily enough, it was also philosophy. Seriously, what is up with professors teaching philosophy? There should be so much conversation and interaction between students and the professors in this course. The course is literally littered with questions.
For me, this course is a really interesting one and allows one to self-reflect and even observe his or her environment. If enough students complain to your university, maybe they can take this professor out. Keeping him would just be a waste of resources.
