Description

Explore the depths of the human experience with Humor (Routledge filosofie). This beautifully written and fascinating book examines what laughter reveals about our shared nature. By looking at the evolution of comedy from ancient times to the modern era, the text provides a unique perspective on why we find certain things funny. Drawing on the influential works of authors such as Swift, Sterne, Shaftesbury, Bergson, Beckett, and Freud, this book turns the concept of the comic inside out. It offers a tasty insight into the mechanics of laughter and the psychology behind it. Readers will find answers to complex questions, including why comedians often face depression, the reasons we laugh at animals, and the underlying mechanics of racist and sexist humor. This work is more than just a study of comedy; it is a deep dive into the social and philosophical implications of what we find amusing. Whether you are a student of philosophy or simply curious about the human condition, this book provides a compelling look at the role of humor in our lives.
