The ecological environmental problems have threatened the survival of all the lives in the world. The environmental pollution, abnormal global climate equilibrium, exhausted natural resources, extinction of specices and the surge in population are the biggest buzzwords of the moment. We have to rethink our triditional concept of the relationship between nature and men in global development. A harmoniows way is needed for both nature and men .Continuous development is much more important to China, a developing country, than any other country. It s the only means to cast off the difficult position of poverty, surge in population and shortage of resources. It s a critical point for national construction of a comparatively good living. A better environment is required for the state economy and social development. The continuous development needs a defena of a harmonious relationship between nature and men. It s completely different from any social structures of development. It s development depends on an ideal human living quality and progressive efficency .It represents a deep humanity, spiritual connotation and requirement of all the people's participation, in the process of development and notion of practice. The notion of continuous development is sure to be improved from its spontaneity to its consciousness because of the gbbalized comprehension. As a result, a rational notion of continuous development which goes beyond the fallacy of the spiritual enlightenment should be established.The continuous development is to be explained from a philosophical point of view. In this essay. Maxist theory is employed to guide the exposition. The essay also deals with the introspection of the narrow-minded human practice which results in a destructive development on the earth. It 11 be a great help for the construction of modern China with its specialities as well.

The outcome of its process from inevitability to the realm of freedom and from the realm of freedom to inevitability is unpredictable. Men used to be considered as masters of nature. A sudden acceleration of the intrustrial, scientific and technological revolution, which has allowed an almost unimaginablemagnification of our power to affect the world around us by transforming the physical matter that makes up the earth . Now it s time for us to realize that the only way to understand our new role as a co-architect of nature is to see ourselves as part of a complex system that doesn't operate according to the same simple rules of cause and effect we are used to. The problem is not our effect on the environment so much as our relationship with the environment, especially of the rational practical revivification, comparative mature in main part of consciousness and reconstruction of cultural spirit in the new century, Were managing to have a better understanding of the new relationship between human civilization and the earth's natural balance.Part two is about the continuous development in a philosophical field of vision. It discusses the new philosophical thinking about the notion of continuous development and its practical value which is fundamentally about the scope of the developing philosophy. The natural notion of value in continuous development implies sincerity, kindness and beauty. Justice, cooperation and morality are concluded in the social notion of value. Full-scale development, rational consume and ecological, personality are about human notion of value. The seeking for freedom, liberty and ideal belief can only be realized by requiring a careful assessment of the relationship as well as the complex interrelationship among factors within civilization and between them and the major natural components of the earth's ecological system.Part three is about transformation of philosophical mode. It explains how men shake off the predicament in traditional destructive devel...
