Comedy, Seriously provides a philosophical interpretation of comedy
and argues that comedy displays a particular kind of rationality
that reflects philosophical thinking. In particular, that comedy is
defined not so much by laughter or jokes, but rather the structure
of its plot, which is isomorphic with that of the philosophical
argument. Comedy allows for the resolution of a conflict and the
achievement of well-being and equality through action that follows
the comic plot. Moreover, such action is propelled by the 'thinker
on stage,' who, as socially and politically oppressed, contributes
to the liberation of all and the achievement of the good life.
Comedy, therefore, establishes the universal pattern for justice
and well-being and allows us to rethink the notion of subjectivity
not as the modern isolated subject, but rather as integrated with
others through shared action and dialogical involvement.
