به معنای حقیقیِ کلمه کتابِ «مستطابِ» اخلاقِ ناصری بایدش خواند و گفت.‏
کتابی غنی و موثّق در حکمت و اخلاق با ساختاری منطقی و استدلالی و دور از حواشی و زوائدِ شریعت‌مدارانه و زیباشناختی و ایدئولوژیک.‏

" شخص باید که بسیار نگوید و سخن دیگری به سخن خود قطع نکند و هر که حکایتی یا روایتی کند و او بر آن واقف باشد ، وقوف خود بر آن اظهار نکند تا آن کس آن سخن به اتمام رساند و چیزی را که از غیر او پرسند ، جواب نگوید. و اگر سوال از جماعتی کنند که او داخل آن جماعت بود ، بر ایشان سبقت ننماید و اگر کسی به جواب مشغول شود و او بر بهتر جوابی از آن قادر بود ، صبر کند تا آن سخن تمام شود ، پس جواب خود بگوید بر وجهی که در متقدم ، طعن نکند."

برای کسایی که دنبال یه کتاب اخلاق خیلی جامع هستن، فکر می کنم بسیار کتاب مناسبی باشه. تک تک صفات اخلاقی، رذائل و سجایای اخلاقی رو معرفی می کنه، مشخص می کنه در هر اخلاقی چه چیزی افراط هست و چه چیزی تفریط. به نظرم کتابیه که برای بسیاری از صفحه هاش نیاز به ساعت ها تفکر هست. کتابی نیست که بشه مثل رمان خوند و رد شد.
