>Nietzsche's own philosophy is a bit incoherent because it is based on the idea of reversing everything that prior philosophers of the generation just prior to him believed. So for instance he attacks Socrates and Plato and adopts the stance that the Pre-socratics were better. Philosophically this is the equivalent of rejecting Christianity as a religion. But Nietzsche struggled to make all these reversals make sense together and developed the idea of the Free Spirit as one who was unfettered in his thinking and could think completely outside the box that had restricted thought up to his time.
