Mankind's most brilliant achievement was the formulation of the modern science and technology in the 20th century, which helped the mankind to realize one and another dreams, and it impelled the productivity of the human society has been developed forward in the unprecedented speed, but meanwhile, it brought the global question to mankind. Environmental pollution, eco-crisis and human society's own polarization, all have become mankind's deep puzzlement, even threaten human existence directly, and actually science is only a navel cord of nutrition from the natural mother of the mankind, the origin of the disaster still lies in people. In the face of present existence circumstances, the mankind begins to review, then sustainable development problem arises at the historic moment. Such profound questions as sustainable development must reach people and natural relation and fair, so it must be a support of ethics, traditional ethics is all explained in the frame of the relation between contemporary people and contemporary people, not used for weigh the relations between people and nature and between contemporary people and future people. In the face of this kind of situation, Hans Jonas, American of German origin scholar, who Cherished the ultimate care to human destiny had proposed his "responsibility ethics" , and he tried hard to put "responsibility" in the key position to ethics, established a preventative, perspective and closing protecting responsibility consciousness that took future behaviors as direction through the heuristics of fear, like this nature and people that could not talk were drawn in the words communication system of mankind. Thus it set up the clear signpost that can be distinguished on the blind spot of traditional ethic. Responsibility ethics regards the existence of people's idea as the logic starting point, proves and understands natural objective value through teleology, finally playbacks to ontology. It has offered a lot of thinking for the fact that solve the relations between people and nature and between contemporary people and future people, but it places hopingon the policy which implements a kind of deflation finally, it will inevitably cause the problems of within-generation Fair can not get scientific settlement, so we will remedy the deficiency of responsibility ethics through introducing some principles of discoursive ethics, so that responsibility ethics can be the ethical support of sustainable development. Moreover, because the scientific development view is a domestic hot question at present, and it has certain inner link with sustainable development, so the end of the article will pay close attention to the scientific development view to some extent.
