Reflexiones epistemológicas sobre el humor

Abstract

This   paper   shows   an   approach   to   the   humor,   as   a   human

ability  to  laugh  from  an  epistemological  perspective.  In  this

paper  the  humor  is  considered  as  essential  a  human  element

for   his   approach   to   the   world;   this   analysis   requires   the

mention   of   some   elements   like   the   language,   the   thinking

and  the  world  configuration  and  their  relationship  with  the

humor  as  a  fundamental  part  of  the  human  being.

The   humor,   as   an   element   of   the   other,   but   also   as   an

element  of  the  paradoxical  and  absurd  of  the  human  world,

allows  a  comprehension  of  the  world,  but  also  an  acceptance

of   reality   or   a   possibility   of   an   inevitable   reality   as

something  out  of  the  human.

We  conclude  that  the  humor,  as  an  element  of  the  human,  is

a   way   of   entertaining   and   also   a   way   of   understanding   the

world   configured   with   paradoxes   and   contradictions

inherent  in  the  human  being.
