摘要

本文將從當代德行倫理學的角度，說明幸福與德行之間的關聯，而筆者主要的關注目標是德行能否促進幸福。首先，本文將討論幸福這個概念，並嘗試界定出一種適當理解幸福概念的方式。其次，本文要說明德行的概念，包括德行的標準以及德行是否統合的問題。接著，本文要主張德行的培養有助於我們實現幸福人生，而且德行可被視為幸福的必要條件，但是德行無法作為幸福的充分條件。最後，本文主張以幸福生活為目標而培養德行，仍然可以讓自己真正培養出德行。

This thesis aims to explain the relation between happiness and virtue from contemporary virtue ethics, and mainly focus on whether virtue can promote happiness. First, this thesis discusses the conception of happiness, and attempts to find an appropriate approach to define it. Second, this thesis considers the conception of virtue, including the standard of virtue and the debate on the unity of virtue. Third, this thesis argues that cultivating virtue can assist us to attain happiness, and moreover, virtue is the necessary condition for happiness. But virtue cannot be the sufficient condition for happiness. Finally, this thesis argues that everyone can truly cultivate virtue if he or she intends to achieve happiness.
