Abstract: “Moral Luck” is a moral phenomenon with the characteristic of being thought of as being “oxymoronic”, because of its repellent to “control principle”. Since 1976 this concept raised by Bernard Williams and others has always been one of the important issue in the study of contemporary moral philosophy. Based on the critical standpoint of Williams, the controversy of the problem of “moral luck” represents the separation of agents and their daily lives which result from the development of western moral philosophy, including the pursuit of universalization and utmost value of morality and with the representative of Kantian Deontology and utilitarianism. It means that the development of moral philosophy theory has to combine with the specific practices of daily life

Key words: Bernard Williams, moral philosophy, luck, ethics, agent regret, practical reason
