A feminist introduction to emerging philosophical understandings of
gaslighting. Originating in a 1938 play, the term gaslighting has
become part of our everyday vocabulary. But do we truly know what it
means? This collection of new and foundational essays explores
concepts and experiences of gaslighting from philosophical
perspectives. Contributors build on longstanding feminist analyses of
the relations among knowledge, affect, and power to consider how
gaslighting can work at not only individual but also structural levels
to undermine its targets. In examining racial, epistemological,
medical, affective, political, and other forms of gaslighting, the
book helps illuminate contemporary power relations and provides
urgently needed tools for further research in and beyond the field of
philosophy.
