Abstract
It is well-known that Bernard Williams insists the rigid sense of morality by claiming the inexistence of what he refers to as ”moral luck”. But, at the same time, he makes a great deal of discussion on it by which he aims to explore the essence of humans' ethical life, on the one hand, and to provide a foundation, through such an exploration, for a further reflection of moral philosophy, on the other. Confucianism, as believing in moral autonomy, seems to have nothing to do with the conception of ”moral luck,” despite its fruitful discourses on moral evaluation in general as well as moral conflicts in particular. By Bernard Williams's theory of moral luck, this article tries to come to a deep understanding of the ethical discourses in selected Confucian texts, exploring the possibility in which a thinking of the relation between ”morality” and ”luck,” from Confucian perspective, would be available.
