Stanely Milgram's Obedience Experiment: An Introduction by Professor John D Barrow, Gresham College
Details
- Abstract / Summary
- Would you kill a person if a man in a white coat told you to? Stanley Milgram's infamous Obedience Test continues to shock us and undermine our concept of who we are and what we believe. In this extract from his lecture on 'Codebreaking in Everyday Life', John D. Barrow, Gresham Professor of Geometry and Professor of Mathematical Science at the University of Cambridge, explains Stanley Milgram's most famous experiment. This is the 3rd part of 'Codebreaking in Everday Life'. The full lecture is available (in 13 parts) here on YouTube, or it can be downloaded (like all of our lectures) in its complete form from the Gresham College website, in video, audio or text formats: http://www.gresham.ac.uk; Gresham College has been giving free public lectures since 1597. This tradition continues today with all of our five or so public lectures a week being made available for free download from our website
