幸福观在西方伦理学中是个重要的伦理范畴。密尔以“最大多数人的最大幸福”为最高道德原则作了相应的概述。功利就是“快乐的自身”和“痛苦的消除”;快乐的性质上的不同,快乐不仅有量的区分,而且有质上的差别;幸福的主体和范围以及“自我牺牲”的道德价值等等。这些结论对我们当今社会的伦理结构仍有借鉴和指导意义。 The concept of happiness is an important ethical category in western ethics. Mill gave a corresponding overview of the highest moral principles in “the greatest happiness of the greatest majority”. Utilitarian is “happy self ” and “painful elimination ”; happy nature is different, happiness is not only the amount of distinction, but also qualitative differences; the main body and scope of happiness and “self-sacrifice ”The moral values ​​and so on. These conclusions still have reference and guidance significance to the ethical structure of our society today.
