We will explore the tensions between humour and philosophy through rare, but insightful, remarks from the history of philosophy; including Rene Descartes, Immanuel Kant, Henri Bergson and Ludwig Wittgenstein. We will assess historical and contemporary theories of what humour consists of and determine how humour informs existential questions of how one ought to live.
