With the development of society, people the pursuit of happiness is becoming more and more intense desire. So the research in this field are more important. For "what is happiness?" Answering this question. We re-examine the philosophical appeared all kinds of solutions to this problem, will we gain rich enlightenment. To historically text, today we can't help to establish: the so-called "happiness", what is?Since the academic research of Kant's ethics based on development they think reasonable parts and abandon them think unreasonable part. Actually they think unreasonable part of Kant's mainly because no original research, this is unavoidable to let a person feel sorry. In this paper, a book read Kant's ethics after, such as "practice ration criticism", "the principle of moral metaphysics", "Kant's theory of god and religion, and these writings did meticulous in-depth analysis, so that everybody can understand more clearly from the whole of Kant's happiness.

The second section discusses mainly the Kant happiness, Kant believe that man is the unity of the perceptual and the rational, determines the particularity and animals the distinction that having essence, people have rational, reason can make people pushing senses know to see fog, something deeper. In pursuit of happiness in, the rational given people pursuit of higher value, unlike animals that only satisfies in natural desire of satisfy, a person with moral happiness for their ultimate goal, Kant thereby propose "highest good". The third part is mainly to the overall evaluation of Kant's mortal. Kant inherited predecessor's ideas and beyond them, his mortal inherited traditional ideas and fixed tradition, so his views have vitality, he not only saved the medieval Christian, give a person to live in better provide thinking, and the support for the present social values selection have instruction function. But this does not mean that he is found the perfect knowledge, the absolute truth. Kant's theory has some limitations.
