Zarathustra’s laugh
Abstract
This paper aims to show the meaning of the laughter of the philosopher Zarathustra in the work of Friedrich Nietzsche. His laughter expresses a philosophical attitude and has three characteristics: it is a sign of tragic wisdom, a symptom of a healthy lifestyle and a tool for criticising the ideals that damage life. We conclude the article considering that laughter and humour are the necessary point of arrival of the Dionysian conception of the world.
