Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to discuss relations between happiness and ethical values in higher education, focusing on the need for the university to pursue happiness and ethical values. To examine the paper logically, four research questions are addressed. First, what are general concepts of happiness and ethical values? Second, why higher education pursues happiness? Third, why ethical values in higher education are important in the midst of the 4th Industrial Revolution era? Last, what are significant factors and norms for building happiness and ethical values in Korean higher education from the perspective of the Fourth Industrial Revolution? To defend the questions, the author uses a descriptive content analysis method, with a cross cultural approach. In addition, to review this paper clearly and limitedly, this article is defined as follows: higher education is limited to current Korean higher education in the 4th Industrial Revolution era; ethical values are confined Korean Confucian values; and happiness is reviewed from the perspectives of western and eastern classical standpoints, particularly, not only Christian Scriptures and Hindu-Buddhist Sacred Books, but also the classical Greek and Chinese thoughts. Based on the research results of this study, the author suggests that happiness and ethical values are important factors and norms to cope with the new emerging industrial revolution age. For future research, it is recommended that this research be broadly undertaken to explore the merits of educational, philosophical, and religious thought in the classics of both worlds.
