Hardback. Condition: Good. An evolutionary and cognitive account of the addictive mind candy that is humor.Some things are funny--jokes, puns, sitcoms, Charlie Chaplin, The Far Side, Malvolio with his yellow garters crossed--but why? Why does humor exist in the first place? Why do we spend so much of our time passing on amusing anecdotes, making wisecracks, watching The Simpsons? In Inside Jokes, Matthew Hurley, Daniel Dennett, 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 with open-ended thinking. Mother Nature--aka natural selection--cannot just order the brain to find and 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 humorists over the centuries, and we have become addicted to the endogenous mind candy that is humor.…

Condition: 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.
