Kant's ethics in the West the importance of ethics is well known, since it has come out, people have started their studies. Today, it can be said of Kant's ethics has been very in-depth research, both at home and abroad there are many outstanding research results. However, Kant's ethics of research on the Good Will and Moral Law, Categorical Imperative theme, As for "The Highest Good" an integral part of the "happiness" and the people in the study is not very seriously, it inevitably regrettable. In fact, Kant's moral and happiness on the relationship between the theory of ethics is a very important subject, which is from Rational and Sensibility is the essential characteristic of the whole decision. Kant's ethics happiness is thus focused on the important topic of, it is necessary for us to do a thorough and meticulous research, in order to allow people to understand more clearly the theoretical system of Kant's ethics, And social values for today's solution to provide a guiding methodology, which is the main purpose of the thesis writing."The Duality of Human Beings" is the theoretical basis of Kant's Eudemonism. The first part focuses on the sensory Eudemonism of Kant's theory.he is considered People are sentimental, therefore, the pursuit of happiness of people who belong to the essence and any force can stop. Under normal circumstances, the emotional desire to meet the requirements of the request is a priority under the codes of the will, And, Kant also believed that the pursuit of happiness is an obligation, not only because happiness contains the means to achieve moral, and happiness will shake people's lack of moral conviction. Therefore, Kant in his "Sensory Beings" on the basis of the theory of the formation of his sensory Eudemonism of that people's sensory well-being of people is the pursuit of the natural purpose, Any of the abstinence theory is absurd.The second part focuses on the Rational Eudemonism of Kant's theory.Kant's view, people are sensibility and rational entity, and, relatively speaking, rational is the most rational nature of the expression of the human beings, it is human nature. This feature will decide as a people can not like animals only to pursue its own desire to meet, The reason given people the value of pursuing higher, that is" The Highest Good ", which is the ultimate goal of human pursuit. Within" The Highest Good ", moral and happiness is a unified, which is the highest moral requirements, access is a prerequisite for happiness,Therefore, people have the essential characteristic of rational decision not to meet people wish happiness for the purpose of the principle of the will of the highest standards, but should be a moral law in accordance with the codes of the will. In this way, Kant is establish his rational Eudemonism, the principle that any happiness as the moral standard theory is untenable.Part III focuses on the Eudemonism of Kant's theory in his Moral and well-being unified view. In his view,Happiness as the purpose is not explain that happiness principle is the highest principle of human practice, because people's rational nature of decide the principle is the moral judgement Virtue standards, Therefore, the happiness principle and the principle of morality in the practice of their highest principles, it is totally different quality, and they are the mutual constraints and also the mutual-defeating within human beings. But that does not mean that the two sides of happiness and moral is absolute confrontation, Only people simply as a member of the sensuous world, moral is an inevitable confrontation with the happiness, However, people is a member of the intelligible world too, that the world is an ontological concept and sensory beings by his speculative reason unable to understand, and we can only to envisage and to faith. In the intelligible world, moral and happiness is a causal relationship, in order to proof of this relationship, Kant made his famous "hypothesis" of "immortal soul" and "God exist". He considers that the human soul is immortal, and in this immortal life, the human race towards the primacy of moral nearly unlimited, and in the process of moral practice, the "omniscient, omnipotent, all in" of "God" will be according to each person's moral character and the extent of giving them a degree of happiness in order to achieve "You must be good, and no impunity will," the moral world. However, in Kant's concept of unity in moral and happiness, as a result of the moral well-being is not in the real world happiness, but a belief and the hope for the happiness.Part IV focuses on the Eudemonism of Kant's theory of evaluation. On Eudemonism of Kant's theory though with certain theoretical limitations, but it is undeniable that its study on the well-being theory of future generations have had a great impact, but also on contemporary society values choice is of great realistic significance.
