Letter from Murray to Ben Tasto about books on "Ethics"
, August 05, 1942
Scope and Contents
Murray responds to a request for book recommendations on ethics by stating that they have never read a book specifically on ethics, but have gained their understanding of ethics through observing human behavior and studying mental philosophy. 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.
