| Abstract: | A creative dialogue between Marxist and non-Marxist scholars, involving mutual criticism and due consideration of the consequences of their respective attitudes is needed to overcome the present crisis in futures studies. Within the framework of a new interpretation of Marxian dialectics, the structure of the future is seen as comprising a definite field of multiple possibilities. The meaning of propositions such as ‘the socialist future’ are examined in an attempt to think of the future in terms of probabilities and in the context of a system's view. |
