Abstract
The paper focuses upon creativity as the essential trait of philosophically understood humor and the comic. Arthur Koestler's bisociation theory is referred to, which interprets humor as one of the forms of human creative activity, consisting in the ability to perceive phenomena simultaneously in traditionally separate and incompatible planes of reference. True humor escapes routine, presenting familiar situations from multiple angles and thus in a new light. The akin potential can stimulate creativity also in other spheres of human activity, including art or science. Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka's phenomenology of the human creative act, which is shown to possess its universal cosmic foundation is also applied to analyze humor as one of the manifestations of the sources of life. In the present author's opinion, humor can be recognized as a symbolic - though perverse - expression of the creative potential inherent in human spirit as well as in life itself.
