摘要

许多现代幽默学者过分简化了他们对柏拉图、亚里士多德、西塞罗和昆提连的幽默观点的总结，把重点放在哲学家们对幽默的修辞效果和伦理的警告上。尽管哲学家们确实写了很多关于笑话的攻击性的文章，这可以被认为是优越性理论的说明，但我在他们的作品中描述了幽默动机的不协调和缓解理论的元素。有证据表明，这四位哲学家都认为幽默是对某些紧急情况的恰当而有效的回应。更准确的概括是:幽默有可能成为一种强有力的说服工具，但就像任何强有力的武器(话语或非话语)一样，它应该与之配合使用

Many modern humor scholars have oversimplified their summaries of Plato, Aristotle, Cicero and Quintilian's views on humor, focusing on the philosophers' cautionary warnings about the rhetorical efficacy and ethics of humor Although the philosophers did write much on the offensive nature of jests, which can be considered illustrative of superiority theory, I describe elements of the incongruity and relief theories of humor motivation in their work. There is evidence to suggest that all four philosophers found humor to be a fitting and effective response to certain exigencies. It is more accurate to summarize their views thus: Humor has the potential to be a powerful tool of persuasion, but like any potent weapon (discursive or non-discursive) it should be used with

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
