Drawing on Coleman's categorical study of social capital from the perspective of actor motivation,this paper argues that in the process of moral becoming capital,according to whether the actor has a clear prof-it motivation,moral capital can be divided into motivated moral capital and unmotivated moral capital.The un-motivated moral capital indicates that moral capital can be a by-product of the moral behavior of the action sub-ject.Its main characteristics are as follows:in the process of moral becoming capital,the subject does not have clear profit motive;moral capital,as a by-product,also requires a long-term investment process.Al-though the process of its formation is unconscious to the agent,the agent is aware of the possibility of virtue be-ing transformed into capital.The theoretical value of the viewpoint that moral capital is also a by-product lies in further expanding the explanatory power of moral capital;to some extent,resolving the controversy between the teleology and instrumentalism of moral capital,and showing that moral capital is more of a theoretical ex-planatory perspective.In the future,it is necessary to further verify this point of view through empirical re-search,so as to enrich the theoretical system of moral capital,and provide reference for the construction of a better society of"unity of virtue and welfare".
