**"Laughter:** An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic" is a collection of three
essays by French philosopher Henri Bergson, first published in 1900. Bergson's
work is considered a pivotal moment in his philosophy, delving into the topic
of laughter and the comic as its source. The essays were first published in
the French review Revue de Paris and later compiled into a book. Bergson's
method focuses on determining the process of the comic rather than analyzing
its effects, emphasizing the social role of laughter and its moral influence.
He explores the relationship between the comic and human imagination,
highlighting the three main directions in which our imagination produces comic
effects. Bergson's analysis covers the general facts, social role, and forms
of materiality that contribute to the comic, providing a comprehensive
understanding of laughter. The English translation of the book was first
published in 1911 and has gone through several editions. Overall, Bergson's
essays offer a unique and insightful perspective on the nature and
significance of laughter in human life and society.
