ABSTRACT

The pleasure and unpleasure mechanism of laughter: a repetition of the pleasure and unpleasure in being born. The idea of doing something automatically without any effort of thought is pleasurable. Bergson‘ Rigidity, which is out of harmony with the immanent plasticity of life, provokes laughter’, ‘the mechanical that goes behind life provokes laughter’. He never speaks of the reason for laughter, but only about its purpose. There are two things to be considered: laughing in itself; laughing at. An individual who does not join in the laughter does not permit the feeling of pleasure to arise and therefore does not need the defence. Laughter is a general physiological defence against discomfort-causing pleasure. A completely bad man prevents the release of pleasure and remains serious. If a consciously moral person releases unconscious pleasure, his ego defends itself by means of laughter against the advancing pleasure.
