Lydia Amir begins by discussing Nietzsche's reception in France, and she explains why and how he came to be considered a \"philosopher of laughter\" in the French academe. Each of the subsequent three chapters focuses on the significance of humor and laughter in the good life as advocated by Bataille, Deleuze, and Rosset. These chapters also explore the complex relationship between the comic and the tragic, and of humor and laughter to irony, satire, and ridicule. \u003ci\u003eThe Legacy of Nietzsche's Philosophy of Laughter \u003c\/i\u003emakes an invaluable contribution to recent interpretive work done on Bataille and Deleuze, and offers further introduction to the relatively understudied Rosset. It illuminates the philosophies of these three thinkers, their connection to Nietzsche, and, overall, the significant role that humor plays in philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lydia Amir\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138584282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138584280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.06d","brand":"Lydia Amir","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944060813567,"sku":"9781138584280","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_462f8536-acfe-42c5-8f94-d24f8a5b8e04.jpg?v=1681501560","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-legacy-of-nietzsches-philosophy-lydia-amir-9781138584280","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
