We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal..." This collection of essays addresses a philosophical problem raised by the first clause of these famous words.

Das ist die Lehre aus Stanley Milgrams berühmten Experimenten, die ein halbes Jahrhundert nach ihrer Durchführung zum Gegenstand einer wichtigen philosophischen Debatte geworden sind. Im Zentrum steht dabei der Begriff der moralischen Integrität, demzufolge das Verhalten einer Person wesentlich von Faktoren wie Charakter, moralischen Gru...
