According to Wikipedia: "In the idiosyncratic Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic, Bergson develops a theory not of laughter itself, but of how laughter can be provoked (see his objection to Delage, published in the 23rd edition of the essay). He describes the process of laughter (refusing to give a conceptual definition which would not approach its reality), used in particular by comics and clowns, as the caricature of the mechanism nature of humans (habits, automatic acts, etc.), one of the two tendencies of life (degradation towards inert matter and mechanism, and continual creation of new forms). However, Bergson warns us that laughter’s criterion of what should be laughed at is not a moral criterion and that it can in fact cause serious damage to a person’s self-esteem.This essay made his opposition to the Cartesian theory of the animal-machine obvious."

Autorenporträt
Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was a renowned French philosopher and writer, known for his insightful and original contributions to the fields of philosophy, psychology, and aesthetics. Born in Paris, Bergson's philosophical ideas greatly influenced 20th-century thought and continue to resonate today. Bergson's work emphasized the importance of intuition and lived experience over purely rational and intellectual analysis. Through keen observation and philosophical analysis, Bergson examines the social, psychological, and physiological aspects of humor, offering profound insights into the nature of comedy and its role in human society. Bergson's philosophical ideas and writing style had a profound impact on a wide range of disciplines, including literature, psychology, and film theory. He received numerous accolades for his work, including the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927.¿
