**"Laughter:** An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic" is a collection of three essays by French philosopher Henri Bergson, first published in 1900. Bergson's work is considered a pivotal moment in his philosophy, delving into the topic of laughter and the comic as its source. The essays were first published in the French review Revue de Paris and later compiled into a book. Bergson's method focuses on determining the process of the comic rather than analyzing its effects, emphasizing the social role of laughter and its moral influence. He explores the relationship between the comic and human imagination, highlighting the three main directions in which our imagination produces comic effects. Bergson's analysis covers the general facts, social role, and forms of materiality that contribute to the comic, providing a comprehensive understanding of laughter. The English translation of the book was first published in 1911 and has gone through several editions. Overall, Bergson's essays offer a unique and insightful perspective on the nature and significance of laughter in human life and society.
