METHODOLOGICAL FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN FUTUROLOGY

Abstract

This article of the author talks about the methodological foundations of modern
futurology, in addition, it is said that the focus of futurology on applied research leads to the loss
of its philosophical (historical-philosophical) foundations. The connection between the historical
sciences and futurology is necessary because reconstruction in history is the same as forecasting in
futurology. It should be emphasized here that the gradation of methodology within the framework

of scientific knowledge into philosophical, scientific, concrete scientific and experimental is conditional, and it is impossible to create a biased deep scientific concept, bypassing its philosophical
foundations. Therefore, it is not very appropriate to expand on the opposite sides of forecasting
and theoretical futurology.
