Self-respect is a relative subjective feeling formed by comparing with the other regardless of the characteristics of happiness as an ‘objective list’, and it is a feeling of happiness that cannot be attained without affirmation and recognition of the other’s ‘good’. This paper considers the condition of happiness in ‘self – respect’ about the relationship between happiness and emotion. Self-respect is not a personal condition that is a minimum condition of happiness, but can be secured through recognition and respect in social relationships. However, self-positive emotions of self-respect are destroyed and destroyed by envy that occurs in infinite competition with ‘good’. Happiness is composed of the pride of self-existence and the admiration of the other being in relation to goodness, and self-respect consist of pride in relation to goodness, and consist of self-rightness to rightness. This article first deal with the origins and functions of such emotions through the discussion of philosophical history on self-esteem and envy, critically examines the relationship between self-respect and envy in relation to justice (J. Rawls), and discusses the possibility of overcoming envy from the philosophy of happiness (F. Nietzsche).
