«Elogio y refutación del ingenio» is the philosophical essay by José Antonio Marina, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardback (284 pages, in Spanish).
The essay studies what wit is and why intelligence produces ingenious creations. Marina presents it as a playful use of intelligence that detaches itself from logic, morality and reality. It traces its traces in language, modern art, philosophy and economics, and concludes that this freedom deserves both praise and refutation.
