In this essay, Henri Bergson analyzes the various elements that provoke laughter in order to determine the humorous components that make us laugh. Bergson describes laughter as a social phenomenon with a primarily social objective. Henri Bergson (1859-1941) was an influential philosopher of the 20th century. His work, which encompasses psychological analysis, sociology, philosophy, and natural sciences, overcame positivism and opened new avenues of thought. In *Laughter*, Bergson applies his philosophy to the study of comedy, a mystery that defies philosophical speculation. Written in an entertaining, profound, and clear style, the text was acclaimed and became an important cultural reference of the 20th century.
Henri-Louis Bergson was a French philosopher who was influential in the traditions of analytic philosophy and continental philosophy, especially during the first half of the 20th century until the Second World War, but also after 1966 when Gilles Deleuze published Le Bergsonisme.
