The high speed of the development of science and technology (S&T) has been an important feature of contemporary society. Not only people's material-economic life, but also cultural life has been under the domination of modern science. However, the continuous expansion of the material world made by the development of S&T has revealed the anti-humanity characteristic of S&T day after day. Human being has fallen into enormous existence crisis and culture crisis that make people feel their happiness and success are discounted. People begin to introspect about the advantages and disadvantages that S&T brings about, then a significant theme which combine the development of S&T and the fate of human being enters into man's vision. It is utmost important that which direction S&T develops. It depends fundamentally on the mode that human being think and act and the value tendency they take. So, the way to extricate human being from difficult position is not attributing it to S&T but returning to man their selves. This article is guided by the historical materialism of Marxism. By putting the humanics under the background of the time of S&T and beginning with the dilemma human being in, the article inquires into humanics's new domain in the time of S&T, constructs a new humanics outlook, makes people clear and definite about their duties. Through perfecting human being themselves, conquering the dissimilation of S&T, guiding the development of S&T and making it work for man's general happiness.The article includes three parts:Part one is the background of this article and the purpose of this part is to introspect about the difficult existence of human being.
