Unobserved, entertainment today finds its way from board games and television shows into all areas of our daily lives and becomes a powerful mode of communication. How can this phenomenon be interpreted, and where does the widespread hostility towards entertainment in Western thought come from? In his far-sighted and original essay, Byung-Chul Han examines the numerous manifestations of entertainment, starting from the Christian Passion narrative as anti-emancipation in Western philosophy: whether it be godlessness, bad art, immaturity, political subjugation, or alienation, entertainment is portrayed as a symptom of various misfortunes. From Kant, Hegel, Nietzsche, Heidegger to Adorno, Luhmann, and even Rauschenberg - "Good Entertainment" is a fascinating anthology of the history of ideas.
