Description

This book explores three connected insights into humor. First, that humor provides a privileged access to the deepest kind of truth, the sense as such of its topics and so of their very reality. It is argued that humor allows us to see things afresh and truly by flouting the sense of the things it deals with so enabling us to step outside of our taken for granted immersion in that sense. As a result, the character of the true sense stands out against the contrast of its nonsensical distortion. Second, that because of the way humor accesses truth, it also brings out the essential meaning of relevant value including the good and the worthwhile. Third, humor enables a privileged coordination and negotiation of profoundly conflicting truths and values. Humor’s access to truth is privileged both in its depth, even with respect to metaphysics, and also because it establishes the truth of what it shows. Humor’s Privileged Access to Truth, Meaning, and Goodness is essential reading for all scholars and researchers of the philosophy of humor.
