Ethical debate of the academic circles to study on the problem of luck,is by Williams and nagel in 1976 published papers- "moral luck" caused by the same name. This article mainly by Williams and nagel interpretation and contemporary debates three objections to reveal the concept of moral luck and the essence of the problem of moral luck. Through the concept of moral luck Williams, reveals the motility of the limitations of traditional moral system and its evaluation. Luck theorists represented by Williams, emphasize the authenticity of luck interference, against the initiative of the moral evaluation is only limited to the pure. This aroused the opponents- radical motivation theory and moderate motivation theory, theory, based on a different Angle and position. Between two conflicting moral intuitions self struggle, made in contemporary ethical luck. Although the concept of moral luck in contemporary is controversial,but I can’t over the fact that problem has become a moral luck. For ethics,therefore, important is no longer whether there is any luck, but we should give much luck ethical values. Unlike these contradictory opinions, in the perspective of Aristotle’s virtue ethics, not only face the existence of luck, and a more comprehensive and reasonable examines the ethical significance of luck. As a result, we elected Aristotle’s ethics view,through the discussion of the concept of virtue to analyze the problems of the contemporary moral luck.
