One of the most important viewpoints of Marxism is that Science and technology is productivity . It took a long and gradual process to develop human science and technology. After several industrial revolution, science and technology develop rapidly. At present , we are experiencing a period of the rapid development of science and technology, but this rapid development has brought a lot of social problems, such as the disharmony between human and society , human and human and human and nature. Due to this reason, we advocate to turn back to derive Confucian's wisdom to solve our social problems which can not be solved by science and technology themselves.As for its essence, Confucian's thoughts is one kind of thoughts that defend feudalism governing, among whose thought there are a lot of dregs. But Confucian thoughts have also been misunderstood. Because Confucian's thoughts always defended feudalism governing , we often ignore that they focus on the humanist of value of science and technology, especially we ignore the thought of humanist is included by Confucian's thoughts. The thought of humanist of Confucian's thoughts is the one that advocates the relationship between human and human , human and society, human and nature ought to reach one kind of harmonious realm . In order to reach harmony of society, Confucian's scientific and technical view is not about the essence of science and technology but its essence is that the value of science and technology is to work for human., so it is a view of instrumentalism value. The contents of Confucian's humanist scientific and technical view is that it must satisfy human's need of food and clothing, human's need of health care and human's need of Ethics morals. The basic characteristic of it is that it emphasizes harmony between nature and human, the need of human and reality and it emphasizes practical rationality. The basic characteristic of it is advantageous to the formation of spirit of practical rationality, to the development of practical technology of ancient times and it can promote the development of friendliness of science and technology. At the same time it makes China's Social technology and humanities technology developed. But Confucian's humanist scientific and technical view also has its limitations and Confucian's humanist thoughts also have limitations. Those limitations make China's ancient science and technology one-sidedness: China's ancient Foundation natural science is not very developed, science and technology always star the level of experience and it difficult to develop theories and it make China is lack of social environment of scientific and technical research out of personal interest.We realize: although China's science and technology in ancient times is not highly developed ,its purse of value of humanist opens a beneficial direction for China and world's civilization. In modern times ,we should inherit the thought of Confucian thoughts of the ancient times which took seriously to pragmatic science and technology , put particular emphasis on the scientific and technological achievement conversion, so that science and technology can serve humanity more well, and we also need to develop the thought of people of Confucian learning and make science and technology continue to continue the thought of person.
