Environmental pollution, ecological imbalance and nuclear weapons cause the potential crisis for human beings existence. All these crisis and disasters make people aware of the blind optimism of modernism, and begin to rethink it seriously and attempt to transcend the modernism. Postmodernism which came into being in the middle and late 20th century is one of the primary achievements.As the outcome of the western post-modern society, postmodernism is a new thinking mode. The criticism on the negative effect of modernity and modernization from postmodernism has something in common with that from Marxism. Due to the improvement of human cognition, postmodern science perspective appears. It reflects the law of cognition development. The active significance of postmodern science perspective is that it can make us treat the science and technology as a historical existence in a mild mind. Post-modern is the new formulation of the relation of science-and-technology and social reality after its sweeping reflection of science, technology and various sides of society. It is natural to the human relations after the re-examine the establishment of a new concept of the natural and ecological viewpoint. No matter how many the side effects of modern technology, mankind will need it for ever, and will continue to develop it. Only when using science and technology to construct modernization, some reflection is necessary, and the side effects should be removed in order to more effectively meet the quick advent of post-modern science and technology revolution. Science will be of more humanity. Sustainable development is a typical post-modern concept, and our country in building new social modernization process must choose the road of sustainable development.
