Description

Humor is a beautifully written philosophical exploration of comedy and its significance to human nature. Spanning from ancient times to the modern era, this Routledge filosofie volume draws on the works of Swift, Sterne, Shaftesbury, Bergson, Beckett and Freud to examine what makes us laugh and what laughter reveals about ourselves. The book unravels the mechanics of comedy, exploring profound questions such as why comedians often struggle with depression, why animals trigger our sense of humour, and how racist and sexist humour function in society. Through rigorous yet accessible analysis, Humor offers readers a sophisticated understanding of comedy's role in human experience and the deeper truths hidden within what we find funny.

Key Features

Humor examines philosophical perspectives from classical thinkers including Shaftesbury, Bergson and Freud to contemporary analysis.

The Routledge filosofie series presents complex philosophical concepts in an engaging, intellectually rigorous format for general readers.

Humor explores the darker dimensions of comedy by analysing racist and sexist humour within broader social and philosophical contexts.

The volume spans historical periods from ancient philosophy to modern times, tracing how societies have understood and employed humour.
