SUBJECT(S):
|
A summary of the major aims of futures studies: What is possible? What is probable? And what is preferable? The last question is difficult for sociologists to deal with because many believe that value judgments cannot be objectively tested. They are wrong. In fact, value propositions can be so tested by empirical and logical methods.
