    Humor y sufrimiento en Søren Kierkegaard
    (Servicio de Publicaciones de la Universidad de Navarra, 2018) Elorrieta-Grimalt, M.P. (María Paz)
    Kierkegaard granted humor the level of an existential category, as he thought it was necessary for the fully realized religious life. He suggested that humor arises in situations of incongruity in which suffering is caused by the paradox of human hopes and aspirations and the inevitable constraints of existence. Understanding the true meaning of pain can help an individual reach human perfection by placing all of his confi dence in God, realizing his own fi niteness, and learning not to take himself so seriously.
