Stanley Milgram's obedience experiments are among the most
influential and controversial scientific studies ever conducted.
The experiments are commonly understood to have shown how easily
people can be led into harming another person, simply as a result
of following orders. Recently, however, Milgram's studies have been
subjected to a sustained critique and re-evaluation. This book
draws on the vast stock of audio recordings from Milgram's
experiments to reveal how these experiments can be understood as
occasions for argumentation and rhetoric, rather than showing how
passive subjects can be led into simply doing as they are told. In
doing so, it reconsiders what we understand by 'obedience' and
extends how social psychologists have understood rhetoric itself.
