Wenn man eine ganze Weile innerhalb einer bestimmten Kultur gelebt und sich oft darum bemüht hat zu erforschen, wie ihre Ursprünge und der Weg ihrer Entwicklung waren, verspürt man auch einmal die Versuchung, den Blick nach der anderen Richtung zu wenden und die Frage zu stellen, welches fernere Schicksal dieser Kultur bevorsteht und welche Wandlungen durchzumachen ihr bestimmt ist.
Es wird hier betont, dass die Darstellung hierin durchweg von der alltäglichen ärztlichen Erfahrung ausgeht, welche durch die Ergebnisse der psychoanalytischen Untersuchung vertieft und wissenschaftlich bedeutsam gemacht werden soll.
Wer einmal Anlass gehabt hat, sich in der Literatur bei ästhetikern und Psychologen zu erkundigen, welche Aufklärung über Wesen und Beziehungen des Witzes gegeben werden kann, der wird wohl zugestehen müssen, dass die philosophische Bemühung dem Witz lange nicht in dem Maße zuteil geworden ist, welches er durch seine Rolle in unserem Geistesleben verdient.
In der psychoanalytischen Theorie nehmen wir unbedenklich an, dass der Ablauf der seelischen Vorgänge automatisch durch das Lustprinzip reguliert wird, das heißt, wir glauben, dass er jedes Mal durch eine unlustvolle Spannung angeregt wird und dann eine solche Richtung einschlägt, dass sein Endergebnis mit einer Herabsetzung dieser Spannung, also mit einer Vermeidung von Unlust oder Erzeugung von Lust zusammenfällt.
Der Gegensatz von Individual- und Sozial- oder Massenpsychologie, der uns auf den ersten Blick als sehr bedeutsam erscheinen mag, verliert bei eingehender Betrachtung sehr viel von seiner Schärfe.
