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.

"A thoughtfully constructed volume on a crucially important and timely topic. The book brings conceptual clarity to the hugely popular term gaslighting and offers real philosophical advances from a variety of perspectives, helping us make sense of both our experiences and the wider culture. It will be of use to feminist philosophers and theorists, as well as students and teachers in philosophy, women's and gender studies, medical ethics, critical philosophies of race and coloniality, and disability studies. We have been waiting for this book." — Sina Kramer, author of Excluded Within: The (Un)Intelligibility of Radical Political Actors
