In the human thought cultural history, the relationship between man and nature is a permanent problem and the topic of the new indemnity. With the rapid development of social economy and science technology, the relationship between man and nature has changed fundamentally in the emergence of global environmental crisis. To this growing problem, many people start a thorough reflection about facing all aspects of human problems. The west environmental ethics start from criticizing the traditional ethics and values, attempting to set up a new ethics, value systems, in order to solve mankind's facing ecological predicament. Human are trying to re-establish man's position in the relationship between man and nature.As contemporary environmental ethics eco-centrism standard-bearer, Rolston made the intrinsic value of nature as the core theory of natural value. He advocated that nature has the objective intrinsic value and had nothing to do with people evaluation. He pointed out that the traditional values serve the people, the main emphasizing on the object of domination, conquest and transformation, putting above the external as the main object of the rulers high on the theoretical limitations, stressing the importance of equality and harmony between man and nature, requiring human anthropology beyond its own narrow field of vision, respecting for nature. Rolston theory of natural value makes us re-recognize the natural value. It has provided a new perspective that reexamines the relationship between man and nature, as well as provided a theoretical basis that changes human attitudes to nature, too. Studying and absorbing Rolston the natural theory of the intrinsic value has great significance to establish the right ecological idea and carry on sustainable development.The author rationalizes the natural values of Rolston, in order to safeguard the objective existence of the natural intrinsic value. The proving methods of objectivity are very important. Because it determines that the objective existence theory of natural intrinsic value can be established. So the thesis analyzes the objective existence proving methods of natural intrinsic value of dialectically, and then supports the objective existence of Rolston natural intrinsic value. When we recognize the objective existence of natural value, there would have conflicts between natural value and people's value in human life practice, how do we select? The author tries to compare the status of humans and nature, in order to look for an accurate value positioning for our survival and development from the comparison, recognizes the objective existence of the natural value and establishes that the people's value is higher than the natural value at the same time.The strategy of sustainable development requires us to put the relationship between man and nature. In the development manner which emphasizes complying with the laws of nature, we realize a development model which is from non-natural human to the be-natural human. Finally achieve the coordinated development between man and nature.
