Humor in Zen
Critic's Corner
Comedy and Creation
“Comedies seem, naturally, to take a humble, if not humbling view of human existence, and at the same time to celebrate creatureliness in a way that more heroic dramas do not.... The comic vision and the biblical vision, therefore, have considerably more in common than appears at first sight.... The comedian is also a ‘creationist.’
Prometheus and the Problem of Progress
“Prometheus is both savior and tempter, hero and villain, emancipator and enslaver. His gifts of knowledge and power, curiosity and imagination, are both gain and loss. ... If human progress is both ambiguous and relative, to acknowledge this is a matter of candor and confession. Our hope is not in ourselves and our achievements.”
