        In his moral theory, kant has argued the three concepts of happiness that we could interpret about them as desire happiness, moral happiness and final happiness. Although it seems he faild to state a determinate concept of happiness, there is a organic unity between concepts of apparently conflicting of happiness. This paper aims to indicate this unity and reveal the important that kant gives to moral happiness. Moreover, it indicate According to Kant, whereas happiness is lower than the virtue, has two important role: happiness at the beginning of ethics, preventing of temptation to the violation of duties, help our to be virtuous and at the end of ethics serve as reward of virtue.
