His technology thought show us by his discussion between technical and humanalienation. Forster believed that science and technology caused great destruction to environment;ecological crisis becomes more and more serious. Science and technology creates people andsocial divisions, but the technology itself is not good or bad. The root of environmental crisis isnot the science and technology, of course it also cannot solve by the progress of technical, thefinal solution can only be achieved through the change of social relations.(3)The theoretical thinking of Forster’s science and technology view.
