What a Brave new Idea!

Is a brave idea a good idea? Not necessarily. But a brave idea, a new valuation, is certainly interesting. A beautiful idea, too, holds an aesthetic value. Does that make it right? Certainly not. But a brave idea is almost more worthwhile to consider. Certainly more attractive than a normal idea. What is a brave idea, you ask? Well, a brave idea is one that makes you suspend your current beliefs in order to consider it. A beautiful idea is simply that: an idea found to be beautiful. Brave ideas are dangerous. Existentialism and humanism are brave ideas. So is relativism. Ethics is not. Morality is not brave- it follows from a system. Perhaps the Cogito is brave.
But I digress. Figure out for yourself what a brave idea is. Form a new system of thought. And, if it makes sense to you, follow it. A brave idea is a foundation, not an end.
