History and Future: Using Historical Thinking to Imagine the Future

Front Cover
Lexington Books, 2007 - History - 175 pages
The book reexamines this long held belief, and argues that the historical method is an excellent way to think about and represent the future. At the same time, the book asserts that futurists should not view the future as a scientist might--aiming for predictions and certainties--but rather should view the future in the same way that an historian views the past.
