520			_a"Gedancken von Schertzen" by Georg Friedrich Meier is a philosophical treatise written in the mid-18th century. The book explores the nature of humor, examining what constitutes a good joke and how they can be critiqued. Meier aims to refine the taste of his compatriots in humor, arguing for a nuanced understanding of what makes a joke truly effective and palatable. The opening of the work presents Meier's reflections on the significance of improving the taste for humor among his readers. He acknowledges the challenge of addressing humor with the same seriousness reserved for other forms of artistic expression. Moreover, Meier delineates between various types of humor and the critical frameworks through which they should be evaluated, suggesting that good humor requires both wit and an understanding of aesthetic principles. He introduces the idea that a well-crafted joke must be new and unexpected to maintain its charm, thereby setting the stage for a deeper exploration of humor throughout the treatise.
