They recommend analyzing one's own conduct and the conduct of others, avoiding blindly following trends, and considering the perspective of others. The writer also expresses skepticism towards modern writings on ethics and recommends a deep analysis of one's own behavior to determine the proper course of action."]](/thumb/CAC_CC_041_1_4_35_0006.jpg "Letter from Murray to Ben Tasto about books on Ethics")
