Beyond Aesthetics: Philosophical Essays (2001) is a book by Noël Carroll.
Excerpt from the "Horror and Humor" essay:
- the affinity of horror and humor might be that these two states, despite their differences, share an overlapping necessary condition insofar as an appropriate object of both states involves the transgression of a category, a concept, a norm, or a commonplace expectation. --“Horror and Humor”
Carroll also quotes from Hutcheson's "Thoughts on Laughter": “We also find ourselves moved to laughter by an overstraining of wit, by bringing resemblances from subjects of a quite different kind from the subject to which they are compared.”
