retrodiction and the epistemology of future studies
Définition
- This entry introduces the field of Future Studies, shows its importance for the social sciences, and reviews the epistemological issues underpinning this new field and its key elements. These include the notions of retrodiction, predicting–explaining (a) symmetry, social reflexivity, and the emerging significance of the social context as essential to knowledge production and therefore the significance of an essentially social-epistemological viewpoint.
