The Transformation of Futures Research in Hungary
1998
Hideg, Éva
In Hungary, the collapse of the authoritarian society has made the author see that the future means not only what will eventually materialize but also the human consciousness and psychic content that people today have of the future, which affects their activities in the present and thus the future itself. At present, the author's main fields of interest include a redefinition of the notion of the future, further developments in methodological investigation, and elaboration of possible futures amid circumstances of instability and teaching futures research. Would-be specialists in futures research should be trained so as to be able to apply a wide variety of different methods to help people and social institutions develop their future-orientations and invent their own futures.
