[[Futurology]] is the Wikipedia-privileged - but somewhat outdated name for what is more frequently referred to in the last few decades as [[futures studies]]. [[Futures studies]] is a [[transdisciplinary]] field focused on medium to long-term [[futures]]. While the dominant methods of the sixties and seventies involved [[extrapolation|extrapolating]] present [[technological]], [[economic]] or [[social]] trends, or by attempting to [[prediction|predict]] (forecast) future trends these methods have been superseded by critical/normative or preferred futures and civilisational or cultural/interpretive futures.<ref>[http://www.metafuture.org/Critical%20futures%20research.pdf Critical Futures<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> More recently two new approaches to futures studies have emerged: emancipatory/activist and integral/holistic futures<ref>[http://foresightinternational.com.au/catalogue/resources/Integral_Futures.pdf Integral Futures<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref><ref>[http://www.swinburne.edu.au/business/research/our-research/documents/monographs/Monograph5.pdf Futures in Education: Principles, Practices and Potential], (Monograph No 5, The Strategic Foresight Monograph Series, 2004) (with [[Debra Bateman, Deakin University]] and [[Caroline Smith, ACU]])<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> |

'''Futurology''' (also called '''futures studies''' and '''futurism''') is the study of postulating possible, probable, and preferable [[future]]s and the worldviews and myths that underlie them. In general, it can be considered as a branch of the [[social science]]s and parallel to the field of [[history]]. History studies the past, while futurology considers the future. Futurology seeks to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change. Part of the discipline thus seeks a systematic and pattern-based understanding of past and present, and to determine the likelihood of future events and trends. |

Futurology (also called futures studies and futurism) is the study of postulating possible, probable, and preferable futures and the worldviews and myths that underlie them. In general, it can be considered as a branch of the social sciences and parallel to the field of history. History studies the past, while futurology considers the future. Futurology seeks to understand what is likely to continue and what could plausibly change. Part of the discipline thus seeks a systematic and pattern-based understanding of past and present, and to determine the likelihood of future events and trends.
