Note | The experiments that forever challenged perceptions of morality and free will. The subjects or "teachers" were instructed to administer electroshocks to a human "learner," with the shocks becoming progressively more powerful and painful. Controversial but now strongly vindicated by the scientific community, these experiments attempted to determine to what extent peple will obey orders from authority figures regardless of consequences. This is Milgram's fascinating and troubling chronicle of his classic study and a vivid and persuasive explanation of his conclusions. |
