Kant is often thought of as being boring, methodical, and humorless. Yet the thirty jokes and anecdotes collected and illustrated here for the first time reveal a man and a thinker who was deeply interested in how humor and laughter shape how we think, feel, and communicate with fellow human beings.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to a foreword on Kant's theory of humor by Noël Carroll as well as Clewis's informative chapters, \u003ci\u003eKant's Humorous Writings\u003c\/i\u003e contains new translations of Kant's jokes, quips, and anecdotes.
