Schweitzer's theory, which on ethical relations between man and nature, has got a great concern by contemporary environmental ethics, bioethics, medical ethics and other fields. However, most scholars only from the theme of reverence for life and the ethical principles of dedication which is out of the reverence for life, to demonstrate the expansion issues of relations between man and nature. Many scholars have ignored a principle that an ample ethical principle must be fully and previously demonstrated.. They ignored the truth that the ethical principle of reverence for life stems from a ample philosophical foundation and a full demonstration. Schweitzer's theory can teach people how to form the practical responsibility on the base of ethical rethinking, and how to form life style on the base of spiritual self-oriented. His theory has the practical significance for practice of intercourse both between human and nature, and between human and society, and between human and their egos. This article rearranged the demonstrative process of Reverence life ethics, in order to clarify the great ethical heritage of humanity which left by Schweitzer. Only in this way, can Reverence for life ethics play a greater role in real life, and acquire new ability in practice. We took the positive view of life, optimism and ethical view of the world as the starting points of demonstration of Reverence for life ethics. We took the solidarity of will to life as the demonstrative process and took the ethical connotation as the conclusion of the demonstration. We accomplished the theoretical preparation for the practical significance of Reverence for life ethics by detail demonstration of the dedicatory ethics and self-improved ethics in which are contain Reverence for life ethics. In the process of demonstration of practical significance, we indicated that Reverence for life ethics is not only significant for the practice of intercourse between human and nature, but for intercourse between human and their egos, human and society.
