This book explores philosophical thinking that refuses the tragic model of thought, by turning instead to comedy. Contributions propose to break, the use of tragedy as an index of truth and philosophical worth. Instead, they explore new conceptions of solidarity, sympathy, critique, and justice. It was published as a special issue of Angelaki.
