Knyazeva, Helena N. The Future Created by Man

Abstract: Review: the article describes the main ideas and key conceptions of the modern transdisciplinary field of knowledge, — studies of the future. The author clarified the meaning of a few new terms such as ‘images of the future”, “alternatively possible future”, “creation of the future” instead of just touching on such topics as fortune-telling or “co-evolution” as an art of living together and creating the future together. The author also studied the prospects and possible limits of applying methods and technologies of social constructivism to social management. “creation of the future” instead of just touching on such topics as fortune-telling or “co-evolution” as an art of living together and creating the future together.
