Morreall, John – Journal of Aesthetic Education, 1981
The author compares the basic features traditionally ascribed to aesthetic experience with the basic features of humor. He suggests that humor is best understood as a kind of aesthetic experience and that it should be valued as such in life and included in education. (Author/SJL)
