Noel Carroll on Humour

<p>What is humour? Why do we have a sense of humour? Philosophers have been asking this sort of question for a while. <a href="http://web.gc.cuny.edu/philosophy/faculty/carroll.htm">Noel Carroll</a> gives some answers, and tells some jokes, in this episode of the <a href="http://www.philosophybites.com">Philosophy Bites</a> podcast. Philosophy Bites is made in association with the<a href="http://www.philosophy.sas.ac.uk"> Institute of Philosophy</a>.</p>

David Edmonds (Uehiro Centre, Oxford University) and Nigel Warburton (freelance philosopher/writer) interview top philosophers on a wide range of topics. Two books based on the series have been published by Oxford University Press. We are currently self-funding - donations very welcome via our website http://www.philosophybites.com
