The second edition of Overcoming Objectification: A Carnal Ethics provides a critical analysis of the widely used (particularly in feminist philosophy) concept of objectification, and offers a new concept (derivatization) in its stead. Cahill suggests an abandonment of objectification due to the concept’s dependence on a Kantian ideal of personhood, an ideal that fails to recognize sufficiently the role the body plays in personhood and results in an implicit vilification of the body and sexuality. Phenomena associated with objectification are ethically problematic not because they render women objects, and therefore not-persons, but rather because they construct feminine subjectivity and sexuality as wholly derivative of masculine subjectivity and sexuality. Women are not objectified as much as they are derivatized: turned into a mere reflection or projection of the other. Cahill argues for a sexual ethics grounded in difference, carnality, and intersubjectivity. The preface to the second edition traces new scholarly contributions to conversations regarding sexual ethics, feminist engagements with Kant, intersectionality, and trans philosophy. With original and far-reaching insights regarding the structure of gender inequality, this work will be of interest to students and scholars in the humanities and social sciences alike and will be of particular use to those interested in sexual ethics, sexual assault, and dominant media representations of gendered bodies.

1892
En 1885, un año después de haberse casado con Charles Walter Stetson, Charlotte Perkins Gilman dio a luz a su hija, Katharine, y al poco tiempo entró en una profunda depresión. El doctor Silas Weir Mitchell, un reputado neurólogo a quien había acudido en busca de ayuda, le diagnosticó agotamiento de los nervios y le prescribió una cura de descanso, un controvertido tratamiento en el que era pionero. «Vive una vida tan hogareña como te sea posible, realiza no más de dos horas de actividad intelectual al día y no toques nunca más una pluma, un pincel o un lapicero»: estas fueron las instrucciones que le dio el médico a la autora. Durante unos meses siguió estos consejos, pero su depresión se agravó, y, según sus propias palabras, se acercó tanto a la frontera de la profunda ruina mental que llegó a vislumbrar el otro lado. Solo haciendo caso omiso de los consejos del médico y volviendo al trabajo logró recuperarse de su depresión. Esta experiencia la marcó hasta tal punto que en 1890 escribió "El papel pintado amarillo", un estremecedor relato que constituye una demoledora crítica al tratamiento prescrito por el doctor Mitchell.
