Content:
Ancient philosophers were very interested in questions about laughter, humour and comedy. They theorized about laughter and its causes, moralized about the appropriate uses of humour and what it is appropriate to laugh at, and wrote treaties on comedic composition. This volume explores themes that were important for ancient philosophers: the psychology of laughter, the ethical and social norms governing laughter and humour, and the philosophical uses of humour and comedic technique.
