The laughter of satyrs and comedians as anthropodestructive and anthroposaving world relation in the borderline situation: Part IІ

The content of the article is closely related to the works of V. Tabachkovskyi and N. Ivanova-Georgiyevska on the topic of the saving functions of laughter as a life-affirming worldview and the destructive possibilities of a life-denying worldview. The relevance and novelty of the research lies in establishing the existence of anthropodestructive laughter and its features, different from saving laughter or simply laughter; in identifying the conditions under which it will be precisely determined when and in which cases laughter is anthropodestructive and when anthroposaving; and how exactly the constructive features and destructive features of both life-affirming and life-denying laughter and worldview are presented on the example of the jesting poetry of satyrs and comedians present in ancient Greek songs and dramas, the difficulty of which lies in determining the quality of their initial laughter. Therefore, the purpose of the work is showing of the origins, essence and initial purpose of the laughter of satyrs and the first comedians as human-destructive and human-saving worldview that is realized in a crisis or borderline situation, with indicating the facets not only of laughter and the attitude towards this situation, but also the facets of the choice of how to relate to the circumstances that have arisen.
