Synopsis
In this incisive work, philosopher Henri Bergson analyzes the sources and functions of laughter in life and literature. He conceives of laughter as a social phenomenon, one most often experienced in public; as such, it must serve a social purpose, namely, the correction of behavior thought to be aberrant. Far from being a moral gesture, though, Bergson exposes the inhumanity lurking behind the laugh, hinting that it may become as mechanical as the behavior it mocks. In characteristically vivid metaphors, Bergson explores the inner workings of comedy by analyzing authors as diverse as Molière and Prudhomme, Dickens and Gogol.
