Smích v tematizaci estetiky

Jiří Vaněk

E-LOGOS, 2011, vol. 2011, issue 1, 14 pages

Abstract: The study attempts at a critical evaluation of the classical philosophical concept of laughter. Bergson and his predecessors (Hobbes, Stendhal, Baudelaire) treated laughter as derision, as an expression of one's superiority over his/her neighbour; in contrast with it, Karel Kosík refers to laughter's other anthropological meanings. The author tries the show that, in fact, there exists a lot of various modes of the phenomenon of laughter and, correspondingly, a lot of specific possibilities of aesthetic distance.

Keywords: laughter - derision - smile - Bergson - Hobbes - Stendhal - Baudelaire - Karel Kosík - personal superiority - varieties of laughing behavior; smích - výsměch - úsměv - humor - Bergson - Hobbes - Stendhal - Baudelaire - Karel Kosík - osobní nadřazenost - rozmanitost smíchového jednání (search for similar items in EconPapers)
