Unconditional pure good and extremely good with happiness is considered as the highest good,and the perfect good is the symbol of the ultimate completion of the philosophical system.However,if the virtuous person always fails to get happiness,then morality is hard to accept for the individual life.In the presentation of individual life,it is difficult to complete the whole and complete perfection,which has always been the core of the problem of good.Confucian moral philosophy,from Confucius "benevolence" to "benevolent government" ideal,to Mencius "good nature" to "Laowu Laoren and people's old" social conception,Then come to the philosophical interpretation of "Mind Body" and "Xing Body" of Song Ming Confucianism and Lu Wang Xin Xue,but they all pay more attention to the "righteousness" side of moral mind.When Chen Liang and Ye Shi put forward utilitarian Confucianism in the Southern Song Dynasty,The understanding of xinxing is constantly developing,but they tend to place more emphasis on the "righteousness" side of morality.The highest good is the unconventional pure good and the extreme happiness.Kant realized the highest good that unites virtue and happiness with his three postulates.Free will can make people use the subjective initiative completely under the premise of self-discipline and morality.Immortality can make people hopeful during the whole lifetime and lengthen the time infinitely under the unity of virtue and happiness.which always plays the role of judge,reward and punishment,and makes people believe "virtue and happiness" "Consistent" is a life-long awe.However,"God existence" is a visional anthropomorphized all-round god,which is transcendent to play a role of judge,reward and punishment...Kant's ethics,starting from the freedom of will,explains the practical rational foundation of morality,but there are also irrational problems in Kant's system.Mr.Mou Zongsan believes that the completion of the highest good philosophy system depends on two levels of legislation,Practical reason,which is superior to speculative reason,directly points to perfect goodness."Practical Wisdom Theory" tries to find a perfect model between virtue and happiness.The theory of practical wisdom" tries to seek a perfect model between virtue and happiness.Confucianism emphasizes the "moral"side of morality,while utilitarianism emphasizes the "happiness" side of social life.The higheset good is how to handle the relationship betweent virtue and happiness from the theoretical level at the same time of pursuing pure virtue and creating happiness so as to achieve the perfection of self system.Mou Zongsan's theory of round goodness is from"Tianjue renjue" in the Confucian Mencius to the Creative Moral patriarchal bone of"respect for the inside and justice for the outside" and the round religion form of four sentence religion and four no education.Using the Chinese philosophy of "infinite wisdom and mind",Kant's "God exists" and "the soul is immortal" are eliminated.Mr.Mou Zongsan thought that he satisfactorily solved the problem of "consistent virtue and happiness" raised by Kant.Mr.Mou Zongsan thinks that he has successfully solved the problem of "unity of virtue and happiness" put forward by Kant,and he has "made further progress".From this point of view,Mr.Mou Zongsan has made a further step towards morality and rationality on the basis of Kant's three postulates.The relationship between morality and happiness is probably not a single one-to-one correspondence relationship,nor is it a speculative logical analysis relationship,let alone a comprehensive relationship.It is very likely that it is a systematic structural relationship of practice,which itself is also practical rationality.Virtue is not only the goal of life ideal,Virtue is not only the goal of life,but also the way of achieving the goal(creativeness of morality);happiness is both the feeling of experiencing life process based upon the rational understanding of humanity and the goal of life pursuit.This kind of analysis of virtue and happiness is only the effort or pursuit of human as an individual life.As a living creature on the surface of the earth,It is also the goal pursued in life.This kind of analysis of virtue and happiness is merely the effort or pursuit of human beings as individual lives.while some people are in the process of making efforts,It needs further research and thinking whether the relationship betweent the unity of virtue and happiness is related to the roundness and iteration of the moral creation of "rightousness generates profit,and benefit enriches the people" It needs further research and thinking.
