Description
Gaslighting: A Philosophical Analysis
This timely and thought-provoking book examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, exploring its nature as a distinctive moral phenomenon.
Kate Abramson investigates how gaslighting undermines individuals, aiming to make them experience themselves as incapable of reasoning or reacting in ways that would allow them to form appropriate beliefs or emotions. By analyzing examples and discussing the immorality of gaslighting, Abramson sheds light on its implications for social life, including issues like racism, sexism, and interpersonal trust.
