BEING CRITICAL AND CREATIVE PHILOSOPHICALLY

Abstract

In this study, I analyse how to be critical on philosophy, critical thinking and creative writing. I show how they need each other philosophically. Writing can change people, creates new worlds and possible universes. By writing, we are creating a new version of time; we are playing out a new version of existence. Writing can create personal universes and operates the reader, in this sense, the reader is a kind of co-creator. Writing and reading are collaborative acts in the making and performance of space-time. Reading is a kind of rewriting but by the eyes. Writing and reading share an interdependent orbit around the open space of language. People break away their usual barriers and imagine the unimaginable in creative and critical writing. During the process of critical writing, individuals come up with new ideas and start to have a broader perspective. Critical writing helps with creative thinking, problem solving and making analysis. When we ask ‘what are the differences between creative and critical writing’, we can say that creative writing is generative in purpose, whereas critical writing is analytical in purpose. Critical writing is judgemental. On the other hand, creative writing is quite free. Although differences are there between them, they are inter-dependant for good writing!
