Cicero on Humour and Laughter [Philosophy of Humour]

#humor #philosophy #cicero

Cicero produced the first systematic review of humour and some of the key themes of his thinking are explored in this video. Cicero progressed Plato and Aristotle's ideas on superiority theory and humour moderation but Cicero had a more positive view of humour and understood the benefits of using humour to support public speaking. Cicero is a must for any serious humour theory explorer and this video provides you with a great introduction to his thinking on humour and laughter.
