Epistemological Meanings of Laughter in Nietzsche’s Philosophy

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the article is an analysis of various meanings, in which the frames of the presence of laughter in Nietzsche’s epistemology can be understood. One can see significant connection between his epistemology and laughter especially in the critique of knowledge, where laughter is both a tool, and a result of philosophical thought. Strong ties exist between laughter and “joyous wisdom” and project of aestheticization of cognition, where laughter is shown as result of recognition of perspectivist character of all knowledge and rejecting the absolute truth for criterion of the growth of will to power. The article is ends with remarks about the wit, treated as some virtue of the mind and also as a certain cognitive power.
