This book investigates the role of humor in the good life,
specifically as discussed by three prominent French intellectuals
who were influenced by Nietzsche's thought: Georges Bataille,
Gilles Deleuze, and Clement Rosset. Lydia Amir begins by discussing
Nietzsche's reception in France, and she explains why and how he
came to be considered a "philosopher of laughter" in the French
academe. Each of the subsequent three chapters focuses on the
significance of humor and laughter in the good life as advocated by
Bataille, Deleuze, and Rosset. These chapters also explore the
complex relationship between the comic and the tragic, and of humor
and laughter to irony, satire, and ridicule. The Legacy of
Nietzsche's Philosophy of Laughter makes an invaluable contribution
to recent interpretive work done on Bataille and Deleuze, and
offers further introduction to the relatively understudied Rosset.
It illuminates the philosophies of these three thinkers, their
connection to Nietzsche, and, overall, the significant role that
humor plays in philosophy.
