On Gaslighting

Kate Abramson

"Gaslighting" is suddenly in everyone's vocabulary. It's written about, talked about, tweeted about, even sung about. It's become shorthand for being manipulated by someone who insists that up is down, hot is cold, dark is light—someone who isn't just lying about such things, but trying to drive you crazy. The term has its origins in a 1944 film in which a husband does exactly that to his wife, his crazy-making efforts symbolized by the rise and fall of the gaslights in their home. In this timely and provocative book, Kate Abramson examines gaslighting from a philosophical perspective, investigating it as a distinctive moral phenomenon. 
 
 
 
Gaslighting, Abramson writes, is best understood as a form of interpersonal interaction, a particular way of fundamentally undermining someone. The gaslighter, Abramson argues, aims to make his target experience herself as incapable of reasoning, perceiving, or reacting in ways that would allow her to form appropriate beliefs, perceptions, or emotions in the first place. He seeks not only to induce in her this unmoored sense of herself but also to make it a reality. Using examples and analysis, Abramson gives an account of gaslighting and its immorality, and argues that such a discussion can help us understand other aspects of social life—from racism and sexism to the structure of interpersonal trust.

Founding Fanatics - Extremism...

Noah Eber-Schmid

Scholars and citizens have often assumed that dispassionate rationality, reciprocity, and nonviolent tolerance are necessary conditions for the sustained development of democracy. Accordingly, they reject oppositional parties that spurn consensus and terms of mutual respect—and often use force to accomplish their political goals—denouncing extremists as antidemocratic.Founding Fanatics questions this understanding, examining how moments of tension, violence, and extremism in the US have sometimes served the pursuit of political equality. Noah Eber-Schmid focuses his analysis on the American Founding era, presenting case studies of the early memorialization of the Boston Massacre, popular debates over Shays' Rebellion, the thought and practices of the Democratic Societies, and the use of the French Revolution in political discourse. From this account of popular politics in the Founding era, Eber-Schmid draws new insights for theoretical approaches to contemporary American democracy, challenging assumptions that extremism is always a negative or antidemocratic force. By recognizing the role that democratic extremism has played in the development of American popular democracy, political theorists and citizens will better understand how such movements may contribute to the struggle to deepen and expand political equality and participation that continues today.

A Tyranny for the Good of Its...

Andrew F. Puzder

Asset manager mega-giants BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard have accumulated unprecedented levels of stock ownership in every major US company. Voting the shares they hold for clients allows these companies to force their own "environmental, social, and governance" or "ESG" agenda on the American corporate sector and, by extension, on all of us. An asset manager's traditional duty is to maximize returns for its investors, but these financial elites expand their duties through "stakeholder capitalism," the idea that a company is responsible not only for its actual shareholders, but for everyone who is affected by the company. Thus, they can impose their preferred ESG goals under the guise of benefiting an amorphous group of non-investors. 
 
 
 
This elite-dominated economic system is nothing more than socialism in sheep's clothing. "ESG" defines the champagne socialist agenda that would devastate the working and middle classes globally. Now, in the face of rising opposition, these financial elites are rebranding—shifting their terminology to conceal their intent. A Tyranny for the Good of its Victims exposes how these elites have pursued—and will continue to pursue—their ESG goals: to transform our consumer-driven free-market economy into one that is subject to their elitist demands, overriding the will of the people whom they deem incapable of self-government.
