| Abstract | The article examines the function and meaning of humor in zen literature，philosophy，and life. uses of humor are seen as parallel to socratic midwifery and platonic recollection. humor is also seen as aiming toward a collapse of categories, a mystical unity，and a kind of coincidentia oppositorum. the sudden realization of the point of a joke and buddhist enlightenment are correlated. arguments of buddhist philosophers and sayings of zen masters on the subject of laughter and humor are considered，along with examples from the history of zen. |
