A Study Of The Concept Of Happiness In Kant’s Critique Of Practical Rationality

In Kant’s ethics,although happiness is not the focus of Kant,it is also a question that his moral philosophy cannot be avoided.In The Critique of Practical Reason,he regards the perfection as the unity of virtue and virtue,and tries to answer the question of how morality and happiness are possible in reality.Kant’s view of happiness mainly concentrated in the "criticism of practice",in the book,Kant advocates from a rational view of happiness,happiness into the moral law,religious beliefs shaken by the enlightenment,Kant tried to establish a moral religion,combining morality and happiness,critically absorbed Plato’s "perfect idea",Socrates "virtue practice","Epicurus" happy "happiness and Hume" sentiment " happiness,affirmed the pursuit of happiness,but stressed that only strictly abide by the moral law to enjoy happiness.Kant’s ideal view of happiness idea is the subject of how much happiness should match its virtue,but because man is limited rational existence,morality and happiness is often difficult to unify,in order to make the best possible,realize the unity of morality and happiness,Kant therefore proposed three public moral metaphysics,to ensure that morality and happiness in practice,to ensure the universal inevitability of moral law.However,its moral theory also has the problems of form,abstraction and too idealization,which makes its happiness theory cannot be truly implemented into the phenomenon world.In view of the problems existing in Kant’s view of happiness,Marx’s view of happiness starts from the historical materialism,based on the real happiness of the people,advocates obtaining happiness through labor creation,realizing the free and comprehensive development of the people,and then created a scientific view of happiness.
