Love Song for the Life of the Mind: An Essay on the Purpose of Comedy
Gene Fendt
Develops the view of comedy that, the author argues, would have been set out in Aristotle's missing second book of ""Poetics"". This book argues, against a variety of formalist and intellectualist interpretations, that the only way out of the problem is through reference to the final cause of tragedy as a catharsis of pity and fear.
