Abstract

The concept of future such as we define it today is recent in the history of humankind. Because of its growing importance, it quickly became institutionalized as a subject of reflection. Future studies had predecessors before the Twentieth Century, but it was only after W. W. II that it took the present day form and focus of interest. Despite the fact that it is frequently used to ground decision making within the public and private sectors, it usualy has slim or no theoretical and methodological bases. The works of Marx, Durkheim and Weber can contribute, each one in its own way, to form bedrock for studies of the future. This paper also examines specific aspects of other relevant contributions from Marcuse, Habermas and Mannheim as well as the recent challenges of postmodernism. l he paper conclu- des with a plea for a composite approach to the study of the future.
