Abstract

This article presents humor as enacting an intra-personal communication particularly apt for the philosophic (self) education that lies at the heart of the practice of philosophy. It explains the epistemological and ethical outcomes of a systematic use of self-referential laughter. It argues for the benefits of a worldview predicated on acknowledging human ridicule, Homo risibilis, comparing it with other approaches to the human predicament.
