#philosophy #nietzsche #suffering #pity #podcast #course Nietzsche criticizes pity as an emotion that weakens the human soul. For him, pity is a manifestation of slave morality that keeps individuals in a state of weakness and mediocrity. He argues that modern society, obsessed with comfort and compassion, prevents the true development of the individual. Nietzsche advocates the ideal of the Superman, a being capable of transcending the limits imposed by traditional morality and fully asserting his will to power. In opposing Christianity and other religions, he considers that pity encourages a subtle nihilism that denies life and hinders personal development.
