Discussion Group|Discussion Group
-
Goethe-Institut Boston, Boston, MA
Henri Bergson's "Laughter" is a sharp, insightful exploration of the nature of comedy and its connection to the human experience. He examines the mechanics of laughter, asserting its role as a social corrective against rigidity and deviation from societal norms. He illuminates how humor arises at the intersection of life’s vitality and mechanical behavior. Bergson's work provides a thought-provoking analysis of the role of spontaneity and creativity in generating laughter.
