In the process of observing and utilizing the nature, people get his basic attitude and opinion about how to pursuit of profit and how to solve the relationships between human being and the nature, between people and people. This is also called the perspective of development. Since last fifties, problems like the energy shortage, resources destructions and pollutions have degenerated and made the ecological crisis even worse, which drove people to review his position in the ecological system and try to find the way to longer existence and development. In the 1980s, there emerged a whole new perspective ofdevelopment--the sustainable development which is a common understandingwhen the international society discussing the global environment crisis and development affairs.In the different period, under the different perspective of development, people see the goal and direction to the progress and the development of science and technology differently. Companying with the perspective of development changed from ancient not nearly indeed for the meanings to utilization the nature, self-sufficiency, ample food and clothing, living and working in peace and contentment during cultivation time, then to for the most fortune and profits of the individual, groups(companies), country and the nation, and finally to the sustainable development in now days, science and technology also has a historical change from gestation to highly developed. The progress of science and technology followed a path to the quick success and instant benefit development model which target conquest the nature and pursuit of profit and materially well-off. This development model indulges negative effects with expansion and is unsustainable. The sustainable development emphasizes the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs, hopes to achieve economic, social and environmental objectives in harmony.

Therefore, how to realize the sustainable development of science and technology is worth consideration. Meanwhile, competitions between nations in 21 century are mostly in the science and technology area. It is of importantly practical value to perfect our research and development system and realize the sustainable development of science and technology in order to promote full-scale development of our society and improve synthetically national power.In this way, according to the theory of sustainable development, it seems the system of science and technology as a subsystem of human society sustainable development system in this article. It not only researches the sustainability and collectivity from inside, that's to say the sustainable development of science and technology, but also studies its harmony and impetus relative to other systems outside, which also called the value to human society. The first chapter of the article analyzes the role of science and technology in sustainable development to explain modern science and technology need sustainable development; the second one analyzes formation of the sustainable development of science and technology in details. In the third part, the author makes a brief analysis about presently wrong thoughts which do harm to the sustainable development of science and technology and offers suggestions to china's sustainable development of science and technology. In the last part, the author stresses the ethical value o...
