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.
