About this title

Synopsis

Comic Relief: A Comprehensive Philosophy of Humor develops an inclusive theory that integrates psychological, aesthetic, and ethical issues relating to humor

Offers an enlightening and accessible foray into the serious business of humor
Reveals how standard theories of humor fail to explain its true nature and actually support traditional prejudices against humor as being antisocial, irrational, and foolish
Argues that humor’s benefits overlap significantly with those of philosophy
Includes a foreword by Robert Mankoff, Cartoon Editor of The New Yorker
