    Abstract: Amid the variety of human experiences, the comic occupies a distinctive place. It is simultaneously ubiquitous, relative, and fragile. In this book, Peter L. Berger reflects on the nature of the comic and its relationship to other human experiences. Originally published in 1997, the second edition includes a new preface reflecting on Berger's work in the intervening years, particularly on the relationship between humor and modernity.

    Abstract: The classic work that redefined the sociology of knowledge and has inspired a generation of philosophers and thinkers In this seminal book, Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann examine how knowledge forms and how it is preserved and altered within a society. Unlike earlier theorists and philosophers, Berger and Luckmann go beyond intellectual history and focus on commonsense, everyday knowledge-the proverbs, morals, values, and beliefs shared among ordinary people. When first published in 1966, this systematic, theoretical treatise introduced the term social construction,effectively creating a

    Abstract: Influential scholar Peter L. Berger reveals five signs that point to the supernatural and its place in a modern secular society Acclaimed scholar and sociologist Peter L. Berger examines religion in twentieth-century Western society, exploring the social nature of knowledge and its effect on religious belief. Using five signs evident in ordinary life-order, play, hope, damnation, and humor-Berger calls for a rediscovery of the supernatural as a crucial, rich dimension of humanity. Conceived as a response to his influential book The Sacred Canopy, Berger eschews technical jargon and speaks dire

    Abstract: Influential scholar Peter L. Berger explores the sociological underpinnings of religion and the rise of a modern secular society Acclaimed scholar and sociologist Peter L. Berger carefully lays out an understanding of religion as a historical, societal mechanism in this classic work of social theory. Berger examines the roots of religious belief and its gradual dissolution in modern times, applying a general theoretical perspective to specific examples from religions throughout the ages. Building upon the author's previous work, The Social Construction of Reality, with Thomas Luckmann, this bo

    Note: Die amerikanische Originalausgabe erschien 1997 im Verlag Walter de Gruyter: Peter L. Berger, Redeeming Laughter. - Includes bibliographical references , Description for reader: Aus d. Amerikan , Review text: "Fazit: 'Erlösendes Lachen' ein wichtiges Buch für Religionspädagogen und Theologen, weil es einen umfassenden Überblick über die Ausdrucksformen des Komischen und die Bedeutung des Humors gibt, einen Überblick, der für postmoderne oder postsymbolische Theologie von höchster Relevanz ist, ein guter Aussichtspunkt 'auf dem Weg zu einer Theologie des Komischen', die freilich noch längst nicht erreicht ist [...]"Rolf Sistermann in: Zeitschrift für Pädagogik und Theologie "Es gibt anspruchsvolle Bücher, die dem Leser jedoch ein Gefühl gelöster Heiterkeit vermitteln: Das Buch von Peter L. Berger darf ohne Zweifel zu dieser seltenen Gattung von Büchern gezählt werden."Magnus Striet in: Theologische Revue, 2/1999/Jg. , 95 "Berger fragt, was genau das Komische ist, greift dabei auf Philosophie, Physiologie, Psychologie und Sozialwissenschaften zurück, beschäftigt sich mit verschiedenen Ausdrucksformen des Komischen, erläutert sie durch Beispiele aus der Literatur und betrachtet abschließend in einer 'Theologie des Komischen' Beziehungen zwischen Religion und Komik. Seine inhaltsreiche Reflexion würzt er zusätzlich mit vielen geistreichen Witzen. - Für Interessierte eine Lesevergnügen."Reinhold Heckmann in: ekz-Informationsdienst, Reutlingen "Man liest das Buch mit Gewinn. Wagt sich doch der Verfasser in einen Bereich hinein, der allzu oft einer verletzenden Mißdeutung ausgesetzt ist." Akademische Monatsblätter, 8/1998, Düsseldorf "[...] Berger nimmt das erlösende Moment des Lachens nun beim Wort und entwickelt aus ihm eine weitreichende Theologie des Komischen. (er) hat das witzigste 'fromme' Buch geschrieben, das auf dem Markt des Geistes ist. , Es wird bald zu den Klassikern der Literatur über das Komische gehören."Dieter Borchmeyer in: Die Zeit, Nr. 38/10.09.1998 "Most books on the nature of comic experience - particularly those with religious and sociological themes - do not cause the reader to chuckle out loud. Peter L. Berger's new book is a refreshing exception. For while Berger's exploration of the comic is a profoundly serious enterprise, his book brims over again and again with delightful anecdotes and humor. In Berger's view, laughter offers us a hint of the redemption that awaits us beyond the ordinary world of pain, struggle, and death."Joan Prefontaine in: Christianity and the Arts, Summer 1998 "[...], one has to recognize that this original book by an eminent sociologist constitutes at the same time an admirable panorama of humor theories, a serious interdisciplinary defense of the comic as redemptive, and a provocative theological interpretation of laughter as a signal of transcendence. , It is also one of the very few books where humor - and consequently ritualized aggression- is not confined to the footnotes."Vassilis Saroglou, Catholic University of Louvain, in: Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, 1998, 37(4)
