Komik und Humor: Eine Psychologische-Ästhetische Untersuchung
E-text prepared by Carlo Traverso, Thomas Berger, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Komik und Humor: Eine Psychologische-Ästhetische Untersuchung" by Theodor Lipps is a scientific publication written during the late 19th century. The book delves into the psychology and aesthetics of humor and comedy, aiming to analyze various theories surrounding comedic feelings and their impact on human emotion and perception. The opening of the work introduces Lipps' intent to expand on his previously published essays on the psychology of comedy. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the psychological analysis behind comedic effects and proposes to explore general properties and forms of comedy rather than focusing on specific artistic representations or works. Through this analytical approach, Lipps critiques existing theories, particularly Hecker's concept of emotional conflict as a basis for humor, suggesting that the feelings of humor cannot be solely defined by a contest between joy and displeasure. The text sets the stage for an in-depth exploration of comedy, emotion, and aesthetic experience, probing into how various types of comedic phenomena emerge from our psychological states.
