Description
Stanley Milgram's groundbreaking study reveals how ordinary people can commit horrific acts when placed under the influence of authority. In this thought-provoking work, volunteers are asked to administer increasingly intense electric shocks to a learner strapped to an electric conductor, with disturbing results. The implications of these findings are profound and far-reaching, shedding light on some of history's most heinous crimes. This edition features a new foreword by Jerome Bruner, adding depth and context to Milgram's original research. With its stark and unflinching examination of human nature, "Obedience to Authority" is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human behaviour.
