TAXONOMY THEORY OF LAUGHTER: A PROBLEM OF COMMON KNOWLEDGE
The article studies a philosophical theory of laughter and a problem of defining its categories. The work discussed the possibility of constructing a theory of laughter in connection with the investigation of concepts “reality” and “truth”. The focus is on philosophical methodology of laughter research. On the basis of nature of “ambivalence” of the nature of laughter, we examine the problem of common knowledge of laughter in three aspects. The philosophical theoretical study of laughter tested sceptically in terms of the theory, subject and object. Using the concept of “escape laughter” in the tradition of philosophy, we can conclude about the prospects for creating a unified theory of laughter through the development of the concept of “meta relations” as a way to create a strong theory of laughter, expressed in terms of strict logic.
