Albert Einstein (1879-1955) is greatest scientist in the twentieth century, at the same time,he is also a great thinker, has rich ideological content about humanity in the humanities. As a scientist, he cares about politics and society with great enthusiasm,and put consciously thinking of relationship between science and technology and ethics as an important aspect in his scientific career,and formed its own unique insights,pointed out the great historical mission that contemporary scientist shall bear. His strong sense of social responsibility and never disappear conscience science, made him to had gained the people's widespread respect and admiration; His independent personality and love of humanity and noble personality and unremitting pursuit of beauty and philosophy of life and moral practice ,so that he became the model of scientists group and the symbol of scientific moral authority .It inspires the tireless pursuit of scientific workers to truth ,and constantly improve their outlook on life and values ,and actively to fulfill our social responsibility and social obligation .The formation of Einstein ideas of scientific and technical ethics closely related the background of his life and his scientific activities experience .In capitalism society ,the science and technology and humanity increasingly divergence, the negative effect from science and technology were increasingly growing .With the deepening of human's dependence to science and technology,humans enslavement by technology to make science and technology has become a means of ruling the people and tools,science and technology were growing alienation .The two world wars happened last century shows that abuse and bad using of technology has brought disastrous consequences to mankind .These factors had led to that Einstein explored the nature of science and technology ,and from this starting point ,he described a series of thought of scientific ethics. First, from the relationship between science and moral perspective ,he proposed the scientific nature is good ,in the relationship between science and ethics ,morality should be the basis for all human values ,all scientific truth must be basis the foundation of moral good ,the value of moral good is higher than scientific truth ,science should reflect the aim of human and served the interests of man ,it promoted the improvement of human living standards and ultimately achieved freedom and happiness of mankind .However ,the application of science and technology have ethical duality characteristics .The alienation of science and technology and abused application of science and technology in the war had caused catastrophic consequences ,it shows that science and technology is a double-edged sword ,may use ,also may misuse and evil .As a result, he put forward scientific activities should follow the guideline of ethics,it is the criterion that scientific truth and human happiness must be combined .That is ,we should get a correct understanding of the objective world and transformed rationally nature by using this knowledge ,and bring benefit for mankind .On the one hand ,scientists should put pursuit the truth as his primary goal ,through the action of pursuit truth, exposed the objective laws of the world ,make people's thoughts and actions meet the rules of the world .On the other hand, we should ensure that science and technology can bring benefit for mankind. The ultimate goal seeking truth is to realize the value of truth, it is the starting point and destination of scientific activities, is also its the highest purpose. the activities of science and technology is to maintain the benefit of mankind ,Einstein had realized profoundly the social responsibility of science worker from science and technology's effect in the modern society. Especially, due to use of the atomic bombs, he realized further that scientists'moral responsibility is significant. Therefore, the scientists should care for the social consequence that his science and technology behaviors brought about, and exert the influence and control to these behaviors early, and To do their best to promote good and control evil. This is that scientists should bear inescapable responsibility. Scientists must participate in the political life, and fight firmly with a variety of purpose and behavior violated the norms that science and technology must bring the benefit for the human. Let science and technology can benefit human, this is the purpose and meaning of scientists'life. And scientist only dedicated himself to community, to serve the community as their own highest purpose in life, make every effort to struggle for improving the human condition, can realize the maximum value of life, realize the unity of scientific truth, goodness, beauty.
