In a society characterized by turbulence and change, predicting the future has
become an invaluable skill for managers, politicians, and scientists alike. As
a result, scientific researchers have become increasingly interested in the
study of the future. In Knowing Tomorrow?, an international team of
contributors analyzes how the concept of the future is being addressed across
academic disciplines. From the perspectives as varied as psychology,
philosophy, economics, and astronomy, this groundbreaking volume examines how
scholars have incorporated the future in their work. By illustrating how future
research can be applied and evaluated, Knowing Tomorrow? establishes this
growing field as a discipline in its own right.
