Laughter: An Essay On The Meaning Of The Comic is a philosophical work by Henri Bergson that explores the nature of humor and laughter. The book is divided into three parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of comedy. In the first part, Bergson examines the mechanics of laughter, arguing that it is a social phenomenon that arises from the interaction between individuals. He suggests that laughter is a form of communication that allows us to express our feelings and emotions in a way that is both immediate and universal. The second part of the book focuses on the nature of comedy itself. Bergson argues that comedy is based on a fundamental incongruity between two things that are normally considered to be separate or distinct. He suggests that this incongruity is what makes us laugh, as it allows us to see the world in a new and unexpected way. Finally, in the third part of the book, Bergson explores the relationship between humor and society. He suggests that comedy is a form of social critique, and that laughter can be a powerful tool for challenging established norms and conventions. Throughout the book, Bergson draws on examples from literature, theater, and everyday life to illustrate his points. He also engages with the work of other philosophers and thinkers, including Aristotle, Kant, and Schopenhauer. Overall, Laughter: An Essay On The Meaning Of The Comic is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of the nature of humor and its role in human society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
