Sinossi
Some things are funny -- jokes, puns, sitcoms, Charlie Chaplin, The FarSide, Malvolio with his yellow garters crossed -- but why? Why does humor exist in thefirst place? Why do we spend so much of our time passing on amusing anecdotes, making wisecracks,watching The Simpsons? In Inside Jokes, Matthew Hurley, DanielDennett, and Reginald Adams offer an evolutionary and cognitive perspective. Humor, they propose,evolved out of a computational problem that arose when our long-ago ancestors were furnished withopen-ended thinking. Mother Nature -- aka natural selection -- cannot just order the brain to findand fix all our time-pressured misleaps and near-misses. She has to bribe the brain with pleasure.So we find them funny. This wired-in source of pleasure has been tickled relentlessly by humoristsover the centuries, and we have become addicted to the endogenous mind candy that ishumor.

Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind
Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, M, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Condizione: As New. : En 'Inside Jokes', Matthew Hurley, Daniel Dennett y Reginald Adams ofrecen una perspectiva evolutiva y cognitiva del humor. Proponen que el humor evolucionó a partir de un problema computacional que surgió cuando nuestros antepasados fueron dotados de un pensamiento abierto. La Madre Naturaleza no puede simplemente ordenar al cerebro que encuentre y arregle todos nuestros errores y cuasi-errores apremiados por el tiempo, sino que tiene que sobornar al cerebro con placer. Así que los encontramos divertidos. Esta fuente de placer incorporada ha sido estimulada implacablemente por los humoristas a lo largo de los siglos, y nos hemos vuelto adictos al dulce mental endógeno que es el humor. EAN: 9780262015820 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Filosofía Título: Inside Jokes: Using Humor to Reverse-Engineer the Mind Autor: Matthew M. Hurley| Daniel C. Dennett| Reginald B. Adams Jr. Editorial: MIT Press Idioma: en Páginas: 376 Formato: tapa dura. Codice articolo Happ-2026-10-08-5d942d3a
