ABSTRACT

Kant, the European philosopher, put forward the philosophy of moral practice in order to solve the problem of communication between the inevitable natural field and the free moral practice field. The idea of supreme good is the ultimate destination of his theory of moral practice. Kant put forward the moral view of the supreme good, which is based on absolute command and extends from the theory of individual motivation to the theory of moral obligation that is generally effective for all members of society. Kant emphasized the absoluteness of moral order. He put forward the theory of motivation of good will. The absolute command of good motives requires the universality of moral principles. Kant's theory of practical rationality emphasizes the priority of moral self-discipline and self-cultivation. He believed that virtue is the supreme condition for the pursuit of happiness. The supreme good consists of virtue and happiness. Virtue is the supreme good as a prerequisite in the supreme good.
