Timothy J. Madigan explains the crucial distinction between compassion and pity.

http://philosophynow.org/issues/29/Niet ... Compassion

I'm a final year ungraduate studying philosophy and I've recently started working on my dissertation. I'm working on Nietzsche's notion of pity. I think I'll end up with a question along the lines of 'How Viable is Nietzsche's Notion of Pity?'

If anyone's up for philsophical discussion on this topic, then that'd be great.

Thanks a lot for this article as well. Great insight.
