Abstract: The division ofempirical notion and intellectual notion has confused people’s understanding on Aristotle’s eudaemonism.The dilemma actually comes from methodological empiricism.The key note in Nicomachean Ethics is to discuss how eudaimonia life we live in empirical world can reach the metaphysical area by our phronesis.It is phronesis notion that provides Aristotle’s eudaemonism the metaphysical foundation.Modern moral philosophers highly value the ability of phronesis which connects the empiric and priori.Kant repeated Aristotle’s phronesis notion in argument of moral judgment,which offered a firm support for his devotion to the foundation of moral metaphysics.

Key words: phronesis, eudaemonism, moral metaphysics, moral judgment;Nicomachean Ethics
