Description

Explore the deep connection between humor and the human experience with The Spirituality of Comedy: Comic Heroism in a Tragic World. Published by Routledge, this book examines how the comic sense is central to our existence. While tragedy represents a fundamental problem of human life, comedy serves as the necessary counterweight and resolution. This work investigates the wisdom found within comedy and how it addresses the major issues humans face.

By studying the comic spirit, readers can gain a better perspective on how to navigate a tragic world through the lens of comic heroism.
