This paper try to understands and explains Goethe’s poetic drama “Faust” as “a developmental history of the spirit of the times” under the historical background of the evolution of the Western science and culture, brings to light the positive humanist meanings in the “Spirit of Faust”, the reforming spirit of the Western science and the cultural characters of the Western science and Technology that were embodied in the “Spirit of Faust”. This paper finally analyses the cultural causes of misunderstanding of the “Spirit of Faust”.
