----Henri Bergson is the author of numerous works including Matter
and Memory, Creative Evolution and Time and Free Will. His work has
been influential for many thinkers such as Walter Benjamin, Maurice
Merleau-Ponty and Gilles Deleuze. ----Drew Burk is a graduate and
technical director at the European Graduate School. He is the
translator of such philosophers as Jean Baudrillard, Jacques
Derrida and Paul Virilio. ----What does laughter mean? What is the
fundamental element of the laughable? What common ground can be
found between the grimace of a clown, a play on words, a similar
situation in a burlesque and a scene of high comedy? What method of
distillation will invariably yield us the same essence from which
so many different products borrow either their obtrusive odor or
their delicate perfume? The greatest of thinkers, from Aristotle on
down, have tackled this tiny problem, which has a knack of baffling
every effort, of slipping away, escaping only to pop up again, as a
lively challenge to philosophical speculation.
