«Le Rire» is the philosophical essay by Éric Smadja, published by Presses Universitaires de France in paperback (127 pages, in French).
The essay examines laughter as a seemingly spontaneous but ambiguous human act; it asks what it is, why one laughs and what one laughs at, and approaches the phenomenon from philosophy, psychology, physiology, ethology, literature and anthropology, including its therapeutic use.
The book belongs to the «Que sais-je?» collection from Presses Universitaires de France. Published in 1993; includes bibliography.
The work is aimed at students of philosophy and human sciences, as well as readers interested in the multidisciplinary study of laughter.
