No philosopher could be a better example of creative thinking in
action than Friedrich Nietzsche: a German iconoclast who
systematically attacked the traditionally accepted views of
academic philosophers, seeking to tear down their rickety platform
and replace it with a platform of his own. Creative thinkers are
people who redefine issues and topics in novel ways to create novel
connections, explanations and hypotheses - people, in short, who
can turn a topic on its head and present it in an entirely new
light. Nietzsche called them "free spirits" - those unwilling to
accept the dogmas of the past, wanting instead to think clearly for
themselves. In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche focuses his
attention on nothing less than the underlying basis of our moral
assumptions, unleashing a powerful, polemical critique of the moral
dogmas of the past and his own time. His book, which remains one of
the most influential works of moral philosophy ever written, is not
just an example of creative thinking at work, it is also a
passionate argument for its importance. As Nietzsche wrote,
"Morality in Europe ... is the morality of herd animals." But if
one is ready to think differently and stand out from the herd,
"other (and especially higher) moralities are ... possible."
